Proposed Rates for SWAPA: Non standard operations Rates for pilotage service rendered to vessels engaged in non-standard operations not covered by other published Region II rates. SWAPA will charge $273.99 per hour for each pilot assigned to a vessel engaged in non-standard operations. Chargeable time will include bridge time, travel time and standby time based on the most efficient means of travel to and from the vessel. A Training Surcharge of $50.00 per docking and/or undocking will be charged. In the event a vessel engaged in non-standard operations requires pilotage service in excess of 72 hours then SWAPA, at their option, will change out pilots at intervals not to exceed 72 hours including travel and standby time. A Length Overall Charge (LOA) shall be assessed as a percent of the total invoice less reimbursable expenses as shown: Less than 450 feet 0 – Percent More than 450 less than 500 feet 5 – Percent More than 500 less than 550 feet 15 – Percent More than 550 less than 600 feet 25 – Percent Over 600 feet 40 – Percent These charges are in addition to normal reimbursable travel expenses. SWAPA will charge a vessel unwilling or unable to furnish separate sleeping and bath officer grade accommodations at the per diem hotel rate for each pilot onboard the vessel more than 15 hours. Cancellations/Delays/Late Changes: When the agent, owner, or master of a vessel sets the time of movement in accordance with 12 AAC 56.205(a), SWAPA reserves the right to charge the following fees if the order is cancelled, delayed, or changed with less than 24 hours' notice: 12 to 24 hours' notice: A fee equal to two hours of the non-standard hourly rate. Less than 12 hours' notice: A fee equal to four hours of the non-standard hourly rate. Pilot reported for duty or departed for the job: If the cancellation, delay, or change is made with less than 24 hours' notice and a pilot has reported for duty or has left for the job, normal billing rates also apply. Cancellations, delays, or late changes may therefore incur additional hourly costs and travel expenses because the pilot is already on standby and/or traveling to provide service as requested. Late Notice: If less than 24 hours' notice is given to set the time of movement, as required under 12 AAC 56.205(a), and a pilot is able to reach the vessel to provide pilot services as requested, SWAPA reserves the right to charge the following fees in addition to all other appropriate billing rates and travel expenses: Less than 24 but more than 12 hours' notice: A late notice fee equal to two hours of the non-standard hourly rate. Less than 12 hours' notice: A late notice fee equal to four hours of the non-standard hourly rate. Payment for pilot rates and charges are due upon receipt of invoice. An interest rate charge of 1.5% per month will be assessed on all balances remaining unpaid after 45 days from the date of the invoice. These rates and charges are separate and distinct as developed with due regard for statutory limitation of liability. Pub: Oct. 7, 11, 14/2026
