Port commissioners (local grandees elected or appointed to the office) have the power to revoke a pilot's commission for negligence and to refuse increases in pilotage rates and are often, pilots say, woefully ignorant.The tension continues.
There is continued debate over whether familiar landmarks provide direct guidance for animals orienting in a familiar area (i.e. in pilotage), or whether guidance is provided by memorized compass instructions tied to familiar places in a mosaic map (Holland, 2003).
Most visual landmarks look different when viewed from different angles, but they are unlikely to provide sufficiently fine-grained directional information to be very useful alone, and it is therefore only in combination that landmarks are usually thought to be useful in pilotage.
The need for craft of the boat class in fisheries, pilotage, salvage, and transport resulted in almost innumerable models, each designed for superior performance in a specific task and to meet geographic and economic needs.
The court said that, in making pilotage regulations, the legislative discretion had been constantly exercised, in this and other countries, in making discriminations, founded on differences both in the character of the trade and in the tonnage of vessels engaged therein.
Any discrimination appearing in the present case is of the same character as that in the pilotage case, and fairly within the discretion of the state.
Benbow was highly regarded as a specialist in both navigation and pilotage, and his evidence given in July 1690 to the preliminary investigation strongly favoured his old patron, Torrington.
But in this case expressly, and in some others by implication, as we have seen in the case of pilotage, a concurrent jurisdiction is contemplated, that of [p393] the State, however, being subordinate to that of the United States, whereby all question of precedency is eliminated.
Russia can be expected to exact a steep price in transit fees and pilotage.
It has already been used for the assessment of pilotage safety in Shanghai harbor, China.
Yet the Supreme Court held that this was clearly a regulation of commerce, and that the State laws could not be upheld without supposing that, in cases like that of pilotage, not requiring a national and uniform regulation, the power of the States to make regulations of commerce, in the absence of congressional regulation, still remained.
