Pilotage is compulsory for vessels going alongside pier or shifting anchorage. Vessels should advise ETA 24hrs prior to arrival. Vessels should confirm ETA 4hrs and 2hrs prior to arrival. For vessels with a draught of 7m or greater, pilots board approx. 2.6nm of the fairway buoy at the entrance to the dredged channel, about 2.8nm N of Puerto Progreso. Vessels with a draught of less than 7m, pilots board about 2.1nm NW of the port. Vessels of less than 7m draught may use the close outside W edge of the dredged outer channel to reach the inner pilot boarding area if it is busy. Shallow draught vessels may also use the W edge of the dredged channel when departing.
