BALTIC DEEP SEA PILOTAGE: 57␥ 54' N 010␥ 54' E
(See Plan)
Also see General before first port
OVERVIEW: A governmental organisation of pilotage authorities of the
countries adjacent to the Baltic Sea, i.e. Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Russia and Sweden.
Information on the recommendations, rules and requesting Deep Sea Pilots
for the Baltic.

DEEP SEA PILOTAGE:
Recommendation on the Use of Adequately Qualified Deep Sea
Pilots in the Baltic: (Resolution A 480 (XII) Nov. 1981).
The IMO recommends that ships which wish to avail themselves of Deep
Sea Pilots in the area of the Baltic should only take Deep Sea Pilots licenced
by a pilotage authority of a Baltic coastal state, i.e. Denmark, Estonia, Finland,
Germany, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia and Sweden (IMO-Resolution
A.480 (XII)).
Such licensed Deep Sea Pilots are in possession of a red identity card.
The Baltic Pilotage Authorities Commission: (4 June 1985).
Recognising that deep sea pilotage helps to enhance safety of navigation
and prevention of pollution of the marine environment, in particular to reduce
the risks resulting from the high density of ships carrying dangerous or
noxious cargoes and that the presence of a Deep Sea Pilot on board would
strengthen a vessel’s navigational team and improve emergency measures
in case of incidents and having considered the necessity of establishing a
certain order in the Baltic Sea, recommends:
A) Masters of ships which are constrained by their draft
B) Masters of ships other than registered in one of the Baltic States,
infrequently sailing in the respective area coming from or being bound
for ports in the Baltic Sea
C) Masters of oil tankers in loaded condition and all loaded chemical
tankers and gas carriers, irrespective of size
to avail themselves of Deep Sea Pilots, certified by a competent authority of
a Baltic coastal State.
Port-of-Departure Rule: (1 January 1983).
The pilotage authorities of the Baltic coastal States draw special attention
to the following rule which came into force on 1 January 1983:
Deep sea pilotage in the Baltic Sea area shall be performed by Deep Sea
Pilots from the respective ports of departure of the Baltic coastal States only,
including the Kiel-Holtenau Locks, the Sound and the Belts. A Deep Sea
Pilot shall disembark from a ship at the first port of call and shall return home
as soon as possible.
If the ship wants further advice of a Deep Sea Pilot it is the responsibility
of the local pilotage authority of that port to supply a Deep Sea Pilot.
Duty Hours: A Deep Sea Pilot should not normally be engaged on the
bridge for more than 12 hours in 24 hours. Deep Sea Pilots should take
adequate rest periods between spells of pilotage and should reach agreement
with the Master of the ship in advance regarding adequate rest periods to
be taken during the passage. The appropriate pilotage authorities shall ensure
that this is done to their satisfaction.
IMO Recommendations: (Baltic Sea).
Recommendation on navigation through the entrances to the Baltic (MSC
138(76), December 2002).
The Maritime Safety Committee:
Recalling Article 28(b) of the Convention on the International Maritime
Organisation concerning the functions of the Committee.
Recalling also Regulation V/10 of the International Convention for the
Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), 1974, as amended, concerning the adoption
by the organisation of the ships’ routeing systems.
Recalling further resolution A.858(20) which, inter alia, authorises the
Committee to perform the function of adopting routeing measures other than
traffic separation systems on the behalf of the Organisation.
Taking into account the General Provisions on Ships. Routeing adopted
by the Organisation by Resolution A.572(14), as amended.
a) Resolution 5 on international pollution of the sea and accidental
spillage adopted by the International Conference on Marine Pollution,
1973.
b) Resolution A. 159 (ES. IV), Recommendation on pilotage.
c) SOLAS chapter V, regulation 19 on Carriage requirements for
shipborne navigational systems and equipment.
See guidelines for compiling and submitting information (page xi)
DENMARK
d) previous resolutions A.579(14) - Recommendation on use of pilotage
services in the Sound and A.620(15), Recommendation on navigation
through the entrances to the Baltic Sea, which have been superseded
by this resolution.
e) The established routeing system (Route T) through the entrances to
the Baltic Sea.
f) The established ship reporting system in the Great Belt Traffic (GBT)
area.
Being aware of the close relationship between safety of navigation and the
prevention of pollution from ships.
Noting that, at several places, the entrances to the Baltic Sea are difficult
to navigate.
Noting also that, owing to the risk of grounding or collision and the strong
sea current, the navigation of large ships through the entrances to the Baltic
Sea constitutes a potential danger of pollution of the entrances and of the
entire Baltic Sea area.
Noting further that loaded oil and chemical tankers, gas carriers and ships
carrying a cargo of irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level
radioactive wastes (INF-cargoes) constitute a potential danger of pollution of
the entrances to the Baltic Sea and a potential hazard to international
shipping.
Having considered the recommendation made by the Sub-Committee on
Safety of Navigation at its forty-eighth session:
1. Adopts, in accordance with SOLAS Regulation V/10, the
recommendation on navigation through the entrances to the Baltic
Sea, as given in Annexes 1 and 2 to the present resolution.
2. Decides that the said annexes will enter into force at 0000 hours UTC
on 1 December 2003.
3. Requests the Secretary-General to bring this resolution and its
annexes to the attention of member governments and contracting
governments to the 1974 SOLAS Convention.
Recommends: Route T:
a) Ships over 40,000 d.w.t., when passing through the entrances to the
Baltic Sea, in view of the fact that 17 m. is the maximum obtainable
depth without dredging in the area NE of Gedser and that the charted
depths, even under normal conditions, may be decreased by as much
as 2 m. due to unknown and moving obstructions, should:
i. not pass the area unless they have a draft with which it is safe to
navigate through the area, taking into account the possibility of
depths being as much as 2 m. less than charted as mentioned
above, and additionally taking into account the possible changes in
the indicated depth of water caused by meteorological or other
effects;
ii. participate in the ship reporting systems (SHIPPOS) operated by
the Government of Denmark; and
iii. exhibit the signal prescribed in Rule 28 of the International
Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, 1972, as amended, in
certain areas in the Store-Baelt (Hatter Rev, Vengeancegrund and
in the narrow route East of Langeland) when constrained by their
draft;
b) That ships with a draft of 11 m. or more should furthermore:
i. use for the passage the pilotage services locally established by the
coastal States; and
ii. be aware that anchoring may be necessary owing to the weather
and sea conditions in relation to the size and draft of the ship and
to the sea level and, in this respect, take special account of the
information available from the Pilot and from radio navigation
services in the area;
c) Ships irrespective of size or draft, ships carrying a shipment of irradiated
nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive wastes on board ships
(INF-cargoes) should:
i. participate in the ship reporting system (SHIPPOS) operated by the
Government of Denmark;
ii. use for the passage the pilotage services locally established by the
coastal States.
d) Shipowners and Masters should consider the full potential of the new
and improved navigation equipment introduced in the revised SOLAS
Chapter V, including Electronic Chart Display and Information System
(ECDIS) when navigating in these narrow waters.
The Sound:
a) Loaded oil tankers with a draft of 7.0 m. or more, loaded chemical tankers
and gas carriers, irrespective of size, and ships carrying a shipment of
irradiated nuclear fuel, plutonium and high-level radioactive wastes
(INF-cargoes), when navigating the Sound between a line connecting
Svinbadan Lighthouse and Hornbaek Harbour and a line connecting
Skanor Harbour and Aflandshage (the southernmost point of Amager
Island) should:
i. use the pilotage services established by the Governments of
Denmark and Sweden.
ii. be aware that anchoring may be necessary owing to the weather
and sea conditions in relation to the size and draft of the ship and
to the sea level and, in this respect, take special account of the
information available from the Pilot and from radio navigation
services in the area;
b) Ship owners and masters should consider the full potential of the new
and improved navigation equipment introduced in the revised SOLAS
chapter V, including Electronic Chart Display Information System
(ECDIS) when navigating in these narrow waters.
