Article 4 Application of existing legislation

The 1847 Act has effect within the added area as incorporated with the 1964 Act in relation to the Port Talbot works authorised by that Act.

The existing harbour byelaws are not to apply to the added area.

Ship, goods and passenger dues within the meaning of the Harbours Act 1964 may not be charged on any ship or on goods carried on that ship by reason only that the ship passes through or anchors within the added area on a voyage to and from a place outside Port Talbot Harbour.

Pilotage charges under section 10 (pilotage charges) of the Pilotage Act 1987^f1 may not be charged on any vessel passing through or anchoring in the added area which is travelling to or from an area of another competent harbour authority and is subject to a compulsory pilotage direction made by that authority.

In this article “competent harbour authority” means a competent harbour authority for the purpose of the Pilotage Act 1987 and “compulsory pilotage direction” means a direction made under section 7 (pilotage directions) of that Act.
