§ 1265 Pilotage Tariff Petition Rules

This law says that anyone who has a big stake in pilotage fees can ask the board to look at those fees, and the person who starts the request or answers it has to show why they are right.

Key Takeaways

  • •Anyone with a substantial interest in pilotage tariffs can file a petition with the board.
  • •The petitioner (the one who files) must prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence.
  • •The counterpetitioner (the one who responds) also must prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence.

Example

A shipping company that pays a lot for pilot services thinks the fees are too high and files a petition with the board to change them.

The company (the petitioner) must give evidence that the fees should be lowered, and if the board or another party replies (the counterpetitioner), they also have to give evidence to support their position.
