Question ñ What rules and management arrangements apply to the ships as they<br />
come in and out <strong>of</strong> port?<br />
The management arrangements for ships as they come in and out <strong>of</strong> port will be in line<br />
with most port arrangements around the world. These include:<br />
� Pilots boarding the ship about five nautical miles (about nine kilometres or five miles)<br />
<strong>of</strong>f James Price Point in clear deep water. The pilot will be dedicated to the port and<br />
will be very knowledgeable on the port conditions and will have had significant<br />
experience as a ship captain;<br />
� Ships will only be allowed to berth if conditions are safe. So if the waves are too<br />
large, the wind too strong or currents too great the ships will not enter the port;<br />
� At about the same location as the pilot boards the ship, tugs will begin their escort <strong>of</strong><br />
the ship all the way into the berth and escort the ship back out again once the cargo<br />
is loaded; and<br />
� Pilots guide the ship back out <strong>of</strong> port and leaving the ship at about the same location<br />
they boarded.<br />
