2021-S8270 (ACTIVE) - Sponsor Memo

                                 
BILL NUMBER: S8270

SPONSOR: SAVINO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the navigation law, in relation to the base pilotage
tariffs at Sandy Hook, Sands Point and Execution Rocks

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Increases the base pilotage tariffs at Sandy Hook, Sands Point and
Execution Rocks.

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

This legislation amends Section 88 of the Navigation Law to adjust the
pilotage tariff table over a five-year period commencing January 1,
2023. The rates increase by the following percentage each year: 3%, 3%,
3%, 3% and 3% plus a 1.5% surcharge on vessels above 1650 pilotage
units.

Section 1 amends item (A) of subclause 1 of clause (ii) of subparagraph

1 of paragraph (h) of subdivision 4 of section 88 of the navigation law,
to establish five new tariff tables, the first is effective January 1,
2023. Each subsequent table replaces its predecessor effective a year
thereafter.

Section 2 provides that the bill takes effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Adjusting the tariff schedule recognizes the change in the nature of
vessels utilizing the Port. When the schedule was established 34 years
ago, vessel size was well within the established limits.  However,
during that time, vessels have doubled in size and can accommodate much
more cargo. Therefore, the total number of ships has decreased while
total tonnage and value of cargo has increased.

Schedule adjustments are necessary to compensate for the resulting
decreased. revenue stream thereby enabling the pilots to maintain their
historically exemplary level of service.

The increase is necessary to allow the Sandy Hook pilots to expand
educational programs for pilots, fund the cost of newly added employees
and increased operational expenses such as insurance and fuel, and to
maintain the integrity of the pilot base which was completely rebuilt
following Superstorm Sandy.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill  
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
