(1) Existing law provides for the regulation and licensing of pilots for Monterey Bay and the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun. Existing law also establishes, in the Transportation Agency, a Board of Pilot Commissioners for the Bays of San Francisco, San Pablo, and Suisun (Board of Pilot Commissioners) and prescribes the membership, functions, and duties of the Board of Pilot Commissioners with regard to the licensure and regulation of bar pilots. Existing law prescribes the rates of bar pilotage required to be charged by pilots and paid by vessels inward and outward bound through those bays and requires the Board of Pilot Commissioners to recommend that the Legislature, by statute, adopt a schedule of pilotage rates providing fair and reasonable return to pilots engaged in movements other than bar pilotage. Existing law imposes a board operations surcharge of up to 7.5% of all pilotage charges, which is paid by pilots to the Board of Pilot Commissioners. Existing law also imposes, among other things, an incremental rate of additional mills per high gross registered ton as is necessary and authorized by the Board of Pilot Commissioners to recover a pilot's costs of obtaining new pilot boats and of funding design and engineering modifications.
