Consultation description

The Department for Transport has received an application from North Devon District Council to be removed from the list of competent harbour authorities (CHAs) maintained by the Secretary of State for Transport. This would remove its functions in relation to the provision of maritime pilotage services for Ilfracombe Harbour.

Removal requires the Secretary of State to make a pilotage function removal order (PFRO) under section 1 of the 1987 Pilotage Act (as amended by the Marine Navigation Act 2013). This consultation paper seeks your views on that proposal.
