Regulation 3 Application

These Regulations apply to a statutory harbour undertaker which is a competent harbour authority except one which has made arrangements under section 11(2) of the Act for all its pilotage functions (other than its duty under section 2(1) of the Act) to be exercised on its behalf by another competent harbour authority; and its activities in relation to pilotage are hereby prescribed as associated activities for the purposes of section 42 of the Harbours Act 1964.

Where a competent harbour authority is responsible for the provision of pilotage services in relation to more than one harbour (whether or not pursuant to an arrangement made under section 11(2) of the Act) these Regulations shall be taken as applying to it separately in relation to each harbour or group of harbours where the provision of pilotage services is limited to ships navigating in or in the approaches to that harbour or group of harbours.

Where any pilotage activities are carried out on a competent harbour authority’s behalf by any agent under an arrangement made pursuant to section 11(1) of the Act these Regulations shall apply to the competent harbour authority as if it were carrying out these activities.

Regulation 5 of the Statutory Harbour Undertakings (Accounts etc) Regulations 1983^f1 shall not apply to the associated activities prescribed by these Regulations.

The exemption in regulation 6 of the Statutory Harbour Undertakings (Accounts etc) Regulations 1983 shall not apply for the purposes of these Regulations.
