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).
