An Act amending the act of May 11, 1889 (P.L.188, No.210), entitled "A further supplement to an act, entitled 'An act to establish a board of wardens for the Port of Philadelphia, and for the regulation of pilots and pilotage, and for other purposes,' approved March twenty-ninth, one thousand eight hundred and three, and for regulating the rates of pilotage and number of pilots," further providing for rates of pilotage and computation, for pilotage fees and unit charge and for charges for services.

HB 1057 updates fee schedules for pilots guiding vessels on the Delaware River, directly affecting shipping companies and vessels using ports from Philadelphia to the Delair Railroad Bridge. It establishes annual rate increases for pilotage services (e.g., $18.86 per unit effective January 2028), sets minimum/maximum unit charges, and specifies fees for services like river transit ($275-$300) and canal crossings ($1,000-$1,750). The bill modifies existing fee structures without changing pilot regulations or requirements. It applies to all vessels navigating the Delaware River and Chesapeake & Delaware Canal, with fees effective from 2022 through 2028.
