PILOTAGE Entry into Port Walcott is via the 194°/256° tracks to the Pilot Boarding Place; from this position to the berth pilotage is compulsory. The buoyed channel is for departure only and pilotage is compulsory to the port limit and for deep draught vessels needing to transit the Outer North Channel. Inbound vessels should not impede outbound vessels constrained by their draught or restricted in their ability to manoeuvre. All vessels maintain listening watch VHF Ch 14 and 16.
