Adjusts the base pilotage tariffs at Sandy Hook, Sands Point and Execution Rocks
This bill updates the fees charged to ships for using pilots to navigate specific New York waterways, including Sandy Hook, Sands Point, and Execution Rocks. It establishes a new pricing schedule that applies to vessels larger than 1,650 pilotage units, setting specific dollar amounts for smaller ships and a calculated rate for larger ones. The changes are scheduled to take effect in stages starting in 2024 and continuing through 2027, with fees increasing each year. These adjustments directly impact shipping companies and operators who must pay these tariffs when their vessels enter the affected areas.
