Section 401.400 - Calculation of pilotage units and determination of weighting factorThe equivalent pilotage unit number and appropriate weighting factor for each ship shall be computed by utilizing the following formula and table:
(a) Pilotage unit computation:Pilot Unit = (Length * Breadth * Depth)/283.17 (measured in meters)
Pilot Unit = (Length * Breadth * Depth)/10,000 (measured in feet)
(b) Weighting factor table:Range of pilotage units | Weighting factor |
0-49 | 1.0 |
50-159 | 1.15 |
160-189 | 1.30 |
190-and over | 1.45 |
(c) The charge for pilotage service is obtained by multiplying the weighting factor, obtained from paragraph (b) of this section by the appropriate basic rate specified in §§ 401.405 , 401.407 , 401.410 , 401.420 and 401.425 .CGFR 70-29a, 35 FR 10434, June 26, 1970, as amended by CGD 81-088; 47 FR 13808, Apr. 1, 1982; CGD 84-089, 50 FR 7178, Feb. 27, 1985.
