Commission Governance

The Alabama State Pilotage Commission operates under the authority of the Alabama State Legislature. Commissioners are appointed by the Governor of Alabama to ensure a balanced representation of maritime interests across the state's diverse waterways.

Each commissioner serves a four-year term, with staggered appointments to provide continuity and stability to the regulatory body. This structure ensures that the Commission remains a reliable and authoritative voice for Alabama's maritime safety and pilotage services.
