South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts36—Duties and immunities of pilots
(1) The duty of a
pilot is to pilot the vessel subject to the authority of the master, and the
fact that a vessel is under pilotage does not relieve the master from
responsibility for the navigation of the vessel.
(2) No civil liability
attaches to a pilot or to a pilot's employer for negligence by the pilot in
relation to the pilotage of the vessel (but this subsection does not relieve
from liability that may attach to a person as owner of a vessel).
(3) The liability of
the owner or master of a ship for damage resulting from a fault in the
navigation of the ship is unaffected by the fact that the vessel is under
pilotage or that the pilotage is compulsory.
