Summary
The bill amends Delaware’s pilot‑licensing rules so sixth‑class pilots can guide vessels with a draft up to 29 feet, up from the previous 27‑foot limit. This change expands the range of ships that can be safely piloted in state waters. It also makes technical wording corrections to align the statute with the Legislative Drafting Manual.
