Additional Important Note.

The King's Lynn Conservancy Board will exercise reasonable care and diligence to ensure that a Pilot attends a vessel at the time required provided that the laid-down ordering procedures have been fully complied with. No responsibility will be accepted for the cost of any subsequent delay to a vessel through the late arrival of a Pilot, for whatever reason.
