Harwich Haven Authority: extension of pilotage area

Following a review, Harwich Haven Authority (HHA), in its role as a competent harbour authority, applied to the Department for Transport to extend its existing area of voluntary pilotage to include Hamford Water and Oakley Creek in the area known as the Walton Backwaters.

This consultation sought comments on the HHA’s proposal and a draft of the pilotage extension order to assist the Secretary of State in making a final decision on this application.
