Western Australian Consolidated Regulations Western Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) The harbour master
may direct the master of a vessel that, under regulation 30 or

ensure that the vessel uses pilotage services when moving in a port, if the
harbour master considers that it is necessary for the vessel to use those
services —
(a)
because of local tidal or local current conditions;
(b)
because of major works being carried out in the port;
(c)
because the vessel, or another vessel in the port, is carrying a noxious or
otherwise hazardous cargo; or
(d)
because of any other circumstances that the harbour master considers may
endanger the safety of the vessel or another vessel or any port facilities or
any person in the port.
(2) A person who does
not comply with a direction under subregulation (1) commits an offence.
Penalty: $12 000.
