For several decades, the evolution of pilot services in the world came to the principle of universal service. The work of the pilots refers to the sphere of public interests of States. The purpose of pilotage the safety of navigation and preservation of marine ecology. In their evaluations, and the actions pilots must be independent from the influence of the commercial interests of private individuals, ship owners, cargo owners, owners of the terminals. The leading Maritime countries do not allow yourself market competition of pilotage services within the pilotage district, as a negative factor influencing the safety of navigation. In a pilot sector competition is conducive neither to improving the quality of services or reduce its value, but on the waters and the infrastructure, you get a double and triple burden. To such conclusion the international practice, this is the position of European and International pilots Association (EMPA and IMPA).

Their goal is to discredit the bill, so by all means leave the outdated, dull, unprofitable system a pilot system in Russia. Haters were disseminated materials in which a number of claims contain outright lies, but a number of facts construed solely for the benefit of private pilotage companies. In this connection it is necessary to shed light on the situation and the basic framework of a pilot security, the sources of which are true facts, events and historical truth.

Legal support of activities of pilot organizations in General is in urgent need of reform, because it's a glitch allows you to manipulate the law and allow Russian ports in the pilot work of private companies, the objectives of which is expressly contrary to the purposes of pilotage specified in the merchant shipping Code of the Russian Federation.
