The Atlantic Pilotage Authority (APA) is a Federal Crown Corporation who provides marine pilotage service to the Port of Belledune, subject to pilot availability. The Port of Belledune is a compulsory pilotage port, therefore all vessels require pilots. The users of shipping services at the Port of Belledune require all vessels to use the services of an APA licensed pilot. The port has restrictions for docking in certain wind conditions and may require a vessel to use the services of a tug, which is available. The Atlantic Pilotage Authority was established February 1, 1972, pursuant to the Pilotage Act and subsequent Federal Government regulations.
