Tokyo bay pilot

Length of vessel 6. The subject sea areas where vessels travelling within Tokyo Bay are obligated to listen to information provided from the Tokyo Wan Vessel Traffic Service Center by VHF radio telephone will be expanded. Navigation rules for small vessels apply at Chiba Port in the same way as at the Keihin Port. Because Chiba Port is designated as a Specified Port with extremely congested marine traffic as prescribed in Article of the Act on Port Regulations, vessels with gross tonnage of tons or less small vessels must give way to vessels with gross tonnage exceeding tons.

Vessels with gross tonnage exceeding tons travelling within Chiba Port must hoist numeral pennant 1 of the international maritime signal flags. In order to support safe maritime passage in the event of an emergency disaster, ships are required to listen to provided information related to emergency disasters or similar matters. In the event of an emergency disaster, the sea off of Kisarazu shall be a priority evacuation anchorage for large-size vessels.
