Your enrolled vessel is bound from Baltimore, MD, to Norfolk, VA, via Chesapeake Bay. Which statement about the required Pilot is TRUE?

🔍 Key Concepts

• State pilotage requirements for domestic voyages in Chesapeake Bay • Difference between state-licensed pilots and federally (USCG) credentialed deck officers • How pilotage is handled when a voyage begins in one state’s waters and ends in another’s within the same bay

💭 Think About

• Think about whether Chesapeake Bay pilotage for enrolled vessels is treated as interstate, intrastate, or coastwise and who has authority over pilotage in those waters. • Ask yourself if a pilot operating in both Maryland and Virginia waters on the same continuous trip must hold both states’ licenses, or if one is sufficient. • Consider when a Coast Guard license alone is enough for pilotage and when state pilotage is required instead.

✅ Before You Answer

• Check whether state pilotage laws (Maryland and Virginia) apply to enrolled vessels operating between ports within the Chesapeake Bay. • Verify if a pilotage requirement in one state’s jurisdiction automatically means that the pilot must also be licensed by the other state for that same voyage. • Confirm whether USCG officer credentials by themselves fulfill compulsory pilotage requirements in Chesapeake Bay, or if state pilotage licenses are separately required.
