Harbour Control (Vessel Traffic Services)Sydney Pilots
Sydney Ports employs 21 pilots, all experienced Master Mariners, with time in command of a vessel as an entry qualification to the pilotage service.
Using four pilot vessels, Sydney Pilots offer around-the-clock service. The Pilot Station is manned continuously and the services of a pilot can be obtained at any time with two hours notice.
Pilotage is compulsory for vessels of 30 metres or more in length and services are offered round-the-clock. Bookings can be made by an authorised shipping agent through the Sydney's Integrated Port System (ShIPS).
Sydney Harbour Superyacht Guidelines are available to assist the masters of superyachts (private vessels with overall length of more than 24m) when navigating into and around Sydney Harbour.
