compulsory pilot

A ship pilot entitled by law to guide a ship for a particular purpose, such as piloting the ship into harbor.

• The compulsory nature of the appointment relieves the vessel’s owner of personal liability if the pilot causes a collision. Cf. voluntary pilot. [Cases: Pilots 7. C.J.S. Pilots of Vessels § 8.]
