Revision 3 (February 3, 2004) Original (May 2, 2002) The Daylight Restrictions on ‘widebody’ ships that meet the following guidelines and criteria will be removed for a 6 month trial period beginning July 1, 2002 and terminating at the first Houston Pilots’ business meeting of 2003. A ‘widebody’ ship is defined as any vessel with a beam of 120’ and over. Any ‘widebody’ ship transiting above buoys 18 will require two pilots at all times. The cutoff time for vessels meetings (290’ rule) will be the same as it is currently, which are buoys 49/50. ‘Widebody’ ships will be allowed to sail in ballast from Baytown at all hours. ‘Widebody’ ships above Baytown high lines will be allowed to sail in ballast from docks 1.5 hours prior to darkness if they meet the following criteria: 1. In Ballast (no cargo) 2. Maximum draft of 32’ or less, with a drag of at least 3 feet. 3. Be of double-hulled configuration. 4. Have a rudder angle indicator, which is visible from all angles as of September 1, 2002. Ballasted vessels will have priority sailings in the evenings and allowed a one-half hour prior to daylight window for sailings in the mornings. No inbound ‘widebody’ ship will restrict an a.m. sailing thus a 0001 hrs. cut-off will be implemented. * True double-sided ‘widebody’ ships (120’ in beam or more) will be allowed to benefit in all cases for a grand fathered period of 24 months. Vessels will continue to call at Baytown as they do today, but all ‘widebody’ ships will require two pilots and an all around rudder angle indicator. *Double-sided ‘widebody’ ships with single bottoms will be allowed to participate in the extended hours until July 1, 2005.
