# The Isles of Scilly (Pilotage) Harbour Revision Order 1988, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
By virtue of section 7(5) of the Pilotage Act 1987 a direction given by a harbour authority for the purpose of making pilotage compulsory for ships navigating in a specified area shall not apply to any area which is outside the authority’s harbour unless the limits of jurisdiction of the authority for pilotage purposes have been extended to cover that area.
This Order accordingly extends the limits of jurisdiction of the Duchy of Cornwall as harbour authority for St Mary’s Isles of Scilly for pilotage purposes under Part I of the Pilotage Act 1987 so as to include an area outside the port in respect of which the Duchy considers that pilotage should be compulsory.
The applicant of this Order is His Royal Highness Charles Prince of Wales and Duke of Cornwall.
