(1) The maximum number of Full Branch pilots at the Port of Brunswick shall be eight (8). The minimum number of Full Branch Pilots shall be established based upon workload.
(2) The Commissioners may authorize a number of Short Branch pilots in addition to the minimum number established for Full Branch pilots.
(3) In developing and establishing the number of pilots required, the Commissioners shall consider the average annual number of vessel movements, including both federal and state pilotage, handled by each Full Branch pilot for each of the previous five years. They shall also consider the average amount of pilot time required per average movement.
(4) Every pilot being registered shall submit evidence that he or she has satisfactorily passed the thorough physical examination required pursuant to examination by a licensed Georgia physician familiar with the rigors of piloting. In addition, every pilot age 60 or older shall submit specific evidence of his or her fitness to perform pilot duties with special attention and certification relative to visual acuity, hearing, heart and vascular, and musculoskeletal systems.
(5) Every active pilot and every apprentice shall submit evidence upon registration that he or she is then a resident of the State of Georgia and that his or her residence is located no more than fifty (50) road miles from the nearest city limit of the City of Brunswick, Georgia, and must thereafter immediately notify the Commission if either requirement is no longer satisfied. Failure to comply with these residency and notification requirements may result in revocation of licenses and/or continued apprenticeship qualification, as the case may be.
(6) The Commissioners shall maintain a record of the names of every pilot licensed and every apprentice pilot certificated.
(7) The Commissioners may establish an annual registration fee fund to augment such monies collected by fines and forfeitures, to be applied to payment of the expenses of the Commissioners.
