It is compulsory for all vessels over 2,000 dwt to have tug assistance for berthing, unberthing, anchoring, mooring to buoys and entrance/sailing maneuvers to dikes. Vessels over 150 meters loa, pilot may request a second tug.

For vessels below 2,000 dwt, tug assistance will be decided by master/attending pilot depending on weather conditions. |
