By this Order the Secretary of State confirms a Scheme made by the Pilotage Commission under section 3 of the Pilotage Act 1983 for imposing on pilotage authorities charges to provide funds for the Commission for the purposes mentioned in section 3(1). The Scheme is set out in the Schedule.

The Order revokes the Pilotage Commission Provision of Funds Scheme 1986 (Confirmation) Order 1986 to which was scheduled the text of the previous Scheme.

The Scheme is in a form similar to the previous Scheme and the general levy on pilotage receipts remains at ¾%. The operative period of the Scheme is twelve months.
