Ch. 3

LAWS OF MARYLAND

IF A LICENSED PILOT IS QUARANTINED BY ORDER OF A HEALTH
OFFICER BECAUSE OF CONDITIONS ON A VESSEL THAT HAS EMPLOYED THE
PILOT TO PROVIDE PILOTAGE, THE MASTER OF THE VESSEL SHALL PAY THE
PILOT THE COST OF THE PILOT'S MAINTENANCE AND $75 PER DAY FOR
EACH DAY THAT THE PILOT IS QUARANTINED.

(C) CARRYING PILOT TO SEA.

IF A MASTER OF A VESSEL CARRIES A LICENSED PILOT TO SEA
UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES THAT ARE BEYOND THE CONTROL OF THE PILOT, THE
MASTER SHALL:

(1) PAY THE PILOT $75 PER DAY UNTIL THE RETURN OR
DEATH OF THE PILOT;

(2) PROVIDE FIRST
MAINTENANCE FOR THE PILOT; AND

CLASS

ACCOMMODATIONS

AND

(3) AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY, RETURN THE PILOT BY
FIRST CLASS PASSAGE TO THE HOME PORT OF THE PILOT.

(D) LIABILITY.

THE MASTER, OWNER, CHARTERER, AND AGENT OF A VESSEL SHALL BE
JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY LIABLE FOR ANY PAYMENTS DUE UNDER THIS
SECTION.

REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived
without substantive change from former Art. 74, § 13.

Subsection (a) of this section is revised, in the
active voice, to state that the master of a vessel
must make the payment, to conform to subsections (b)
and (c) of this section. Under subsection (d) of this
section, however, liability is not limited to the
master.

In subsection (a) of this section, the defined term
"licensed pilot" is substituted for the former word
"pilot" since it seemingly was intended to provide
this protection only to an individual lawfully
providing pilotage.

In subsection (b) of this section, the reference to
"conditions on the vessel" is added to conform to the
practice of the industry.

In subsection (d) of this section, the words "jointly
and severally" are added to clarify the scope of this
section.
