What are compulsory pilotage areas?
The Atlantic Pilotage Authority’s jurisdiction covers all waters in and around the Atlantic provinces. Within this jurisdiction, the APA has designated certain ports or waterways as compulsory pilotage areas in which vessels must have a licenced pilot or pilotage certificate holder on board while under way. Certain vessels are exempted from these requirements (see section 4 of the Atlantic Pilotage Authority Regulations for more details).
