Or. Admin. R. 856-010-0028 - Pilot Exchanges
(1) The
recommended area for the exchange between the Bar Pilots and River Pilots is
upstream of River Mile 15. Failure to complete the exchange at the recommended
location will not, by itself, subject a pilot to discipline by the Board, but
in the event of an incident in which it is determined that the exchange took
place downstream of River Mile 15, the burden will be on the transferee pilot
to show that the place of the exchange was not a contributing factor to the
incident. For purposes of this section, pilot "exchange" occurs when the
transferor pilot relinquishes the conn and the transferee pilot takes the conn
of the vessel.
(2) A pilot exchange
shall not be completed until the transferor pilot has communicated all
information that is, in the opinion of the transferor pilot, necessary for the
transferee pilot to continue with the safe navigation of the vessel, and the
transferee pilot shall not accept the conn until satisfied that he or she has
received sufficient information to continue with the safe navigation of the
vessel.
(3) As soon as practicable
after boarding a vessel, the pilot shall conduct an information exchange with
the vessel's master or other officer apparently in charge. The information
exchange shall address those subjects that are, in the pilot's opinion,
necessary for safe navigation of the vessel.
