For the sake of good order, we are attaching hereto copy of message issued by Pilots Association which was received by the chamber grouping all local ship agents.
In this note it is a letter in Spanish language with its free translation into English language as “specimen” of letter which local pilots will deliver onto the Master of each vessel when boarded for the compulsory pilotage suggesting a maximum draft of up to 34¨ for the safe navigation when sailing through the River Plate and River Parana area. Of course this is not mandatory but it is recommended by local pilots based on their experience.
Furthermore please note that the safe margin to be kept under keel which the letter refers to, is in accordance with local Coast Guard’s regulations of 0.60 meters and this safe margin it is mandatory.
