Abstract

The article States that the organization of pilots in Finland after its accession to the Russian Empire received a new legal basis, but taking into account the rich experience available. On may 17, 1812, the Imperial regulations «on the establishment of lighthouses and pilots in Finland»were signed. This document is also interesting because it does not fit into the traditional model for Russia – the creation of pilot societies at specific ports. The regulations of 1812 assumed a single pilot organization on the entire territory of the VKF and, at the same time, established the same rights and duties of pilots. It consists of 77 paragraphs, combined into five articles: «The duties of mariners regarding the use of the pilot»; «About the patch as total fees for the school pilots, and lighthouses, and special fees received by the pilot»; «How to charge a pilot money and the amount for the establishment of lighthouses and pilots, with an indication as to conduct of these control registers»; «About the duties of pilots»; «A subject of judicial place and proceedings in cases relating to lighthouses and pilots». This regulation was issued simultaneously with the regulations on official duties and savings in pilotage and on the construction of lighthouses and tanks in Finland, which ended the legal organization of pilots in this country during this period.
