Relates to pilotage fees on vessels transiting the New York state waters of Long Island Sound or Block Island Sound east of Execution Rocks or Sands Point
This bill updates the pilotage fees that vessels must pay when traveling through specific waters of Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound. It directly affects ship operators and maritime companies navigating these areas by setting a new fee structure based on pilotage units. The legislation establishes a schedule of increasing fees, starting at ten dollars and eighty-nine cents per unit and gradually rising to thirteen dollars and ninety-one cents by 2032. This change replaces previous fee amounts and ensures that maritime traffic in these regions pays the updated rates immediately upon the bill's effective date.
