substantial hazard to piloting vessels into and out of a port; and
(2) the existence of the hazard overrides the
necessity to comply with normal pilotage rate-setting procedures.
(b) In adopting emergency pilotage rates, the board is not
required to comply with the procedures in this chapter or in its
rules relating to the adoption of pilotage rates.
(c) Emergency pilotage rates may not be appealed.
