Title: ●Great Lakes Pilotage Rates--2026 Annual Review and Revisions to Methodology  
Abstract:

In accordance with the statutory provisions enacted by the Great Lakes Pilotage Act of 1960, the Coast Guard is proposing new base pilotage rates for the 2026 shipping season.  The Coast Guard is proposing one change to the methodology related to Step 5 for the Working Capital Fund. The Coast Guard estimates that the elimination of the Working Capital Fund contribution to Step 5 would result in a 7 percent decrease in operating costs compared to the 2025 season.
