You will require this licence if you intend to offer pilot training services and provide licensed pilots to vessels. There are four classes of licence:
- Trainee Licence
- Restricted Licence
- Unrestricted Licence
- Check Pilot Licence.
A Restricted pilot licence means that a pilot is authorised to pilot a ship in the identified pilotage area, but cannot pilot:
- a loaded oil tanker
- a loaded chemical tanker
- a loaded gas carrier
- in a pilotage area other than the Hydrographers passage
- a ship that exceeds the draught endorsed on the restricted pilot licence.
