Description
The Port of Humboldt Bay keeps two bar pilots for vessel arrivals, shifts between berths and departures. The pilots are not District employees; the Harbor District licenses them once they meet its experience and training criteria.

- Vessels under 300 gross tons are exempt
- Pilots are available with 24-hour notice and are not kept on station
