The smart choice in the Rotterdam area |
Piloting
Seagoing vessels of >70 m1 and/or carrying hazardous materials are obliged to have a pilot on board in order to sail into the Moerdijk port.
You can order a pilot from the port Co-ordination Centre, tel. +31 10 252 24 33.
ETA telegrams only by telex to Pilot VTS 26751 dirk nl (Dirkzwager).
To make the coming and going of a pilot on and off the vessel as efficient as possible and to avoid waiting, vessels are obliged to send a timely ETA message.
The ETA message must contain specific information in accordance with so-called IMO standard reporting procedures (IMO resolution A.648 (16)).
Moreover, it is recommended to communicate with Maas Approach as soon possible via VHF on channel 1, to confirm the ETA or change it.

Utilising a pilot
Captains of vessels who wish to make use of a pilot must report the expected departure time, arrival time or the commencement of the warping movement at least three hours in advance.
Changes or cancellations
Any change in the above-mentioned ETD/ETA of more than one hour must be reported.
This report must be directed to:
Port Co-ordination Centre
- telephone +31 10 252 24 33
- fax +31 10 252 14 00
- VHF channel 19
If you do not abide by the rules, this can result in delays for your vessel.
