2 Duties of master, bridge officers and pilot

  2.1 Despite the duties and obligations of a pilot, the pilot’s presence on board does not relieve the master or officer in charge of the navigational watch from their duties and obligations for the safety of the ship. It is important that, upon the pilot boarding the ship and before the pilotage commences, the pilot, the master and the bridge personnel are aware of their respective roles in the safe passage of the ship.

  2.2 The master, bridge officers and pilot share a responsibility for good communications and understanding of each other’s role for the safe conduct of the vessel in pilotage waters.

  2.3 Masters and bridge officers have a duty to support the pilot and to ensure that his/her actions are monitored at all times.
