INTRODUCTION ARGONAUT MARINE provide pilotage services to the Pilbara Port Authority (PPA) – Dampier. The company provides services to all PPA-Dampier facilities, King Bay Supply Facility, Toll Supply Base, Mermaid Marine Slipway and all Port Anchorage areas.

PILOTAGE MANNING ARGONAUT MARINE will be appropriately manned by qualified pilots at all times. ARGONAUT MARINE Pilots are licenced through a recognised training programme and authorised by the Harbourmaster, Pilbara Port Authority – Dampier under the WA Port Authorities Act (1999) and Regulations (2001).

CLIENT OBLIGATIONS To ensure that the highest level of service is provided to customers and that shipping schedules throughout the port are maintained, it is important that clients ensure that all necessary arrangements are made for the ships that they represent. Specific client obligations include:

• Liaison with relevent terminal operators to ensure that berths are available and booked for the appropriate times;

• Liaison with the ARGONAUT MARINE Duty Pilot to ensure appropriate pilot bookings are made. The specific booking process will be addressed within this document;

• Liaison with towage operators to ensure that appropriate towage is booked (see towage guidelines at Appendix 1);

• Liaison with relevent stevedoring providers to ensure linesmen are available at the appropriate time for tie up and let go (see timing guidelines at Appendix 2); and

PILOT BOOKING PROCESS The preferred method for booking a pilot is through the Automated Pilot Booking System which is accessed through the home page of the company website www.amgmarine.com.au After a booking is received an automatically generated email is sent to the booking agent confirming the details of the booking. Agents are to ensure that they review the booking details for accuracy and advise the Duty Pilot of any errors or omissions. After a pilotage booking is accepted into the system it will be visible on the Dampier Pilotage Schedule which is also accessed through the home page of the company website www.amgmarine.com.au

Draft and Tidal Considerations Clients are requested to bear in mind that tidal restrictions apply to some larger supply vessels and anchor handlers. To this end, it is important to ensure that arrival/departure draft information is provided in the ARGONAUT MARINE Pilot Booking Form. This will allow appropriate consideration of tidal requirements with regard to scheduling.

Cancellation Policy The Duty Pilot is to be given at least two (2) hour’s notice of a booking change, to avoid the imposition of cancellation or detention charges.

Vessel Defects It is a mandatory requirement of the Pilbara Ports Authority that all vessels navigating within the Port of Dampier must report any vessel defects affecting navigation. Should undeclared defects be detected when pilots embark in ships, pilotage services may be delayed until suitable towage can be arranged.

Pilotage Exemptions Pilotage exemptions for the Port are granted to suitably qualified and experienced Masters and Chief Mates by the Harbourmaster, Pilbara Port Authority – Dampier, in accordance with the WA Port Authorities Act 1999. ARGONAUT MARINE Pilots will assist with the administration of this process to ensure that the Harbourmaster is able to make an appropriate evaluation of exemption candidates. It should be noted that in order to be exempt from the requirement to embark a pilot within the Port of Dampier, the Master of the ship must have a valid Pilotage Exemption Certificate. ARGONAUT MARINE will assist the Harbourmaster to periodically audit this process to ensure that regulatory processes are being adhered to. In order to apply for a Pilotage Exemption Certificate, candidates must comply with the process articulated by the Harbourmaster in the Port of Dampier Port Handbook on the Pilbara Port Authority Website www.pilbaraports.com.au ARGONAUT MARINE Pilots will examine candidates by way of an oral and written examination approved by the Harbourmaster Pilbara Port Authority – Dampier. This examination will take approximately 2 hours to complete and is mandatory for the local knowledge component of the Pilotage Exemption process. All exemption queries are to be directed to the Harbourmaster Pilbara Port Authority – Dampier.
