Relates to base pilotage tariffs at Sandy Hook, Sands Point and Execution Rocks
This bill establishes base pilotage tariff rates for vessels entering or leaving Sandy Hook, Sands Point, and Execution Rocks for the years 2028 through 2032. It directly affects commercial shipping companies and maritime operators who must pay these fees for pilotage services at these locations. The legislation provides a detailed rate table that adjusts fees based on the number of pilotage units, with higher rates applied to larger vessels and increasing costs over the six-year period. These changes will take effect immediately upon passage, updating the pricing structure that maritime operators have used in previous years.
