b) This duty roster aims at ensuring uninterrupted availability of the Pilotage
Service and avoiding the Pilot's fatigue when performing pilotage operations. Additionally, it
contributes to the maintenance of Pilot licenses.
c) Duty Roster Period is the number of consecutive hours or days in which the Pilot
will stay available for being requested to perform pilotage operations. This period is
subdivided in Service Period and Standby Period.
1) Service Period is the time within the Duty Roster Period in which the Pilot is
effectively in pilotage operation. The pilotage operation time is counted from the starting of
a vessel's displacement with the Pilot on board. A waiting time period of the Pilot on board
for any reason, duly lodged, will be counted as standby (Pilot at Shipowner's disposal, on
board).
- 2 - 12 -
NORMAM-12/DPC
Mod 5
2) Standby Period is the time within the Duty Roster Period, in which the Pilot is
not effectively acting in pilotage operations, but is available for being requested. In a long
lasting pilotage operation, the Pilot's rest period due to rotation is also considered as
Standby Period.
d) Rest Period is the uninterrupted period of time, immediately before or after a
Duty Roster Period, in which the Pilot is not available for being requested to perform a
pilotage operation, unless in case of emergency or in a situation involving risk to human
life.

a) The Pilots distribution, consolidated uniquely in the Pilot's Single Rotational Duty
Roster, shall proportionate the rotation of Pilots over preset Service Periods, so as to
maintain a continuous attendance to vessels, i.e., each pilotage operation will be performed
by perfectly identified Pilot(s) in the Roster.
b) The Pilotage Service Sole Representative, under supervision by the CP/DL/AG
office, will consider all the local peculiarities of each ZP when preparing the Duty Roster.
c) The following rules shall be observed when preparing the
Rotational Duty Roster:
1) The Pilot can only stay in Service Period for a maximum of six consecutive
hours. If the pilotage operation lasts more than six hours, a Pilot rotation shall occur. The
Pilot replaced in this situation enters a Standby Period no shorter than two hours. For each
consecutive 24 hours, the Pilot can only stay in Service Period for a maximum of twelve
hours. Considering the local peculiarities, the CP/DL/AG may determine the minimum
number of Pilots on board or allow a tolerance for the maximum period of six consecutive
service hours.
2) In a ZP with pilotage navigation shorter than thirty miles, the Pilot may stay in
Duty Roster Period for a maximum of fourteen days. At the end of a Duty Roster Period,
the Pilot shall stay, at least, one day in Rest Period for each four days spent in Duty Roster
Period.
3) In a ZP with pilotage navigation of thirty miles or greater, the Pilot may stay in
Duty Roster Period for a maximum of 21 days. At the end of a Duty Roster Period, the Pilot
shall stay, at least, one day in Rest Period for each four days spent in Duty Roster Period.

SECTION IX
MEDICAL AND PSYCHOPHYSICAL EXAMS FOR PILOTS
0248 - MEDICAL AND PSYCHOPHYSICAL EXAMS
a) Periodic Control:
1) The exercise of a Pilot's activities demands from the seafarer physical and
mental conditions within a minimum health and physical fitness standard that enables
maximum attention in pilotage operations for long hours, irregular working schedules,
boarding vessels and disembarking at sea under adverse weather conditions, and other
difficulties inherent to Pilotage Services.
2) For the Pilot to work safely in his activities, he must be in acceptable physical
and mental fitness conditions for the service, certified by a physician specializing in Labor
Medicine or Traffic Medicine, accredited with the CP/DL/AG office of jurisdiction over the
ZP.
3) In the absence of a physician with those specialties in the region, the
certificate may be issued by a physician of other specialty, if accredited with the CP/DL/AG
office of jurisdiction over the ZP.
4) The Pilot's aptness shall be certified through emission of a Pilot's Medical and
Psychophysical Assessment Report (Annex 2-J). The accredited physician shall observe
rigorously the parameters established in this Section, always considering the requirements
of Pilotage Service activities described in the mentioned Annex, relevant only for the
emission of aptness reports.
5) If a medical condition is identified which does not meet the established
parameters and/or implies incapacity for the Pilot Service activity, the accredited physician
shall suggest to the CP/DL/AG office of the ZP directing the Pilot to a Brazilian Navy Health
Board, describing the reasons of aptness impairment.
6) It will be for each Pilot to present the respective Medical and Psychophysical
Assessment Report to the CP/DL/AG office of jurisdiction over the ZP, as set forth in item
0228, in the periodicity shown in the table below. The Pilot will not participate in the Pilot's
Single Rotational Duty Roster when failing to present the respective Medical and
Psychophysical Assessment Report. In this case, he shall communicate the fact
immediately to the CP/DL/AG office and the Head of the respective Pilotage Entity.

b) Minimum Indexes and Incapacitating Conditions:

1) Biometry
There are no rigid indexes to be followed, but the obesity at a degree that
makes difficult or impedes mobility, ability to climb and descend ladders or any other quick
movement is a cause of incapacity. Morbid obesity is incapacitating.
- 2 - 21 -
NORMAM-12/DPC
Mod 5
2) Vision
The visual acuity without correction in both eyes must be a minimum of
20/200, if both correct to, at least, 20/30. The use of correction lenses is permitted.
However, the pilot shall bring to the medical assessment act a spare pair of lenses/glasses
to be tested by the assessing physician. The impossibility to discriminate colors green and
red is impeditive to the Pilotage Service, and should be assessed initially through the
Ishihara Test. If an alteration is found in this test, the Lantern Test (Farnsworth Lantern) or
equivalent shall be applied. The use of colored lenses to correct for daltonism is forbidden.
If the Pilot holds a glaucoma or other chronic pathologies that degenerate the retina, a
visual campimetry shall be requested. The visual field cannot be smaller than
100 in each eye.
3) Osteomioarticular System
The mobility of all joints, mainly in the appendicular skeleton and vertebral
column, shall be preserved. Degenerative diseases of the vertebral column which do not
bring restriction to movements and mobility are not incapacitating. Any disease or clinical
condition impairing the ability to run, walk or stay balanced and in a prolonged orthostatism,
hold or climb steep ladders is incapacitating.
4) Cardiovascular System
The Pilot must have good cardiorespiratory aptness. Systemic arterial
hypertension under control is not incapacitating, if the cardiovascular function exams (ECG,
echo cardiogram and ergometric test) do not show lesions in target organs that generate
incapacity or evidence a potential sudden decompression. For such, these exams must
come with the Pilot to the medical assessment act, as well as the medical prescription of
his cardiologist with the medications he uses. Systemic arterial hypertension poorly
controlled or in early treatment shall be considered as temporarily incapacitating. The Pilot
will only be considered apt after normalization of tension levels and adaptation to the
medications. Cardiopathies implying low cardiorespiratory aptness verified through
functional exams or the risk of sudden decompression, recurrent embolic phenomena,
chronic venous insufficiency not controllable through surgical or clinical treatment, are
incapacitating. The Pilots who present acute cardiovascular events will be considered
temporarily incapable for the activity. They may be later considered apt, depending on the
functional condition reached with the treatment taken.
5) Hearing System
(a) The audiometry should be conducted with a minimum hearing rest of
fourteen hours. Hearing losses no higher than 40 dB in the frequencies of 500 through
3,000 Hz will be accepted, even if bilateral. Higher losses, in these frequencies, will be
accepted if fitting one of the conditions below and if the Speech Recognition Index (IRF) is
equal or above 80% in any of the conditions:
(1) Not exceeding 55dB; or
(2) The three tone average in the frequencies of 500Hz, 1000 Hz and
2000Hz not exceeding 55 dB.
(b) Hearing losses in the frequencies above 3000Hz will be accepted, if
allowing the distinction of indicative sounds from whistles, bells, gongs or horns used by
other vessels to indicate their approximation. A hearing prosthesis is allowed if the
threshold is elevated in at least 20dB in each ear and the Speech Recognition Index (IRF)
is at least 90%. Labyrinthopathies are incapacitating if recently diagnosed, non-controllable
or recurrent.

NORMAM-12/DPC
Mod 5
6) Respiratory System
Chronic conditions of the respiratory system implying the impossibility of
performing pilotage activities are incapacitating. Acute conditions will imply temporary
incapacity, and should be assessed later.
7) Nervous System
Any disease implying alteration of speech, balance or mobility is
incapacitating temporarily or permanently, depending on the evolution and etiology.
Convulsive syndromes of any etiology are causes of definitive incapacity.
8) Skin and Subcutaneous Cellular Tissue
There are no absolute exclusions for skin diseases, except if, in the
assessment physician's opinion, the condition shown interferes with the performance of
pilotage activities.
9) Pregnancy
Pregnancy by itself is not a cause of incapacity, if, in the assessment
physician's understanding based on a report from the Pilot's obstetrician, she can perform
pilotage activities safely, without risk to mother and fetus, or to the safety of vessel, crew
and cargo. Special attention should be given to a pregnant woman in the last pregnancy
quarter, when the assessment physician, considering the requirements of pilotage
activities, may determine her temporary incapacity.
10) Gastrointestinal System
There are no absolute exclusions for gastrointestinal tract diseases, except
in the case of inflammatory diseases not responsive to treatment or in an exacerbation
period, or if the condition shown interferes with the performance of pilotage activities.
Conditions requiring surgical treatment shall be assessed after total recovery of the
physical condition.
11) Genitourinary System
There are no absolute exclusions for genitourinary system diseases, except
in cases of renal insufficiency with risk of sudden imbalance or if, in the assessment
physician's opinion, the condition shown interferes with the performance of pilotage
activities. Conditions requiring surgical treatment shall be assessed after total recovery of
the physical condition.
12) Endocrine and Metabolic Diseases
(a) Diabetes mellitus controlled only with hygiene-dietetic measures is not a
cause of incapacity. During the use of oral hypoglycemiant, the Pilot shall be considered
as temporarily incapable until obtaining glycemic control, verified through dosage of
glycaemia and glucosilate hemoglobin and provided that the medications and doses used
do not imply risk of sudden unbalance during pilotage activities. Diabetes when poorly
controlled and/or requiring insulin therapy imply definitive incapacity for the activity.
(b) Any other endocrine-metabolic pathologies that, in the assessment
physician's understanding, interfere with the capacity to perform pilotage activities, shall be
considered as temporarily or definitively incapacitating, depending on the relevant
functional tests.
13) Tumors and Neoplasms
Malignant neoplasms shall be assessed according to the level of limitation
imposed by the disease and its treatment to the performance of pilotage activities.
Metastatic malignant neoplasms, even with the site determined and treated, are definitively
incapacitating.
- 2 - 23 -
NORMAM-12/DPC
Mod 5
14) Blood and hematopoietic organs

Diseases implying risk of thromboembolic phenomena or spontaneous or
traumatic bleeding are incapacitating temporarily or definitively, depending on their etiology
and possibility of control. The use of anticoagulant therapy is incapacitating definitively for
the Pilotage Service activity.
15) Immune System
Autoimmune diseases are considered as incapacitating temporarily or
definitively, depending on their impact over the labor capacity and side effects of the
medication used.
16) Psychiatric Disorders
Any acute psychiatric disorder is incapacitating for the Pilot's activity
temporarily of definitively, depending on their etiology and evolution potential. The need to
use a psychotropic medication is always incapacitating due to its interference with the
reactive capacity. Chemical dependence on alcohol and/or illicit substances is definitively
incapacitating. At the discretion of the accredited physician or Health Board, toxicological
tests may be requested from samples of biologic materials (hair, nail scrapings), with a
minimum detection window of ninety days. Toxicological exam reports will only be accepted
from laboratories that conduct exams of a wide detection window, minimum ninety days,
containing compulsory information on the chain of custody and with the following fields:
donor's complete identification and signature (including fingerprint), identification and
signatures of at least two witnesses of the sample collection, and identification and
signature of the technically responsible person for issuing the report. The report shall
contain results, negative or positive, for each drug group requested, the quantities detected
and the statistical evaluation of the consumption pattern.
17) Other Pathological Conditions
Other clinical or pathological conditions not listed above may be causes of
temporary or definitive incapacity, considering the requirements of pilotage activities
described in Annex 2-J. The standards and criteria shall be assessed in accordance with
the specific pathology. Sometimes, pathologies with a possible short-term treatment for
cure, stabilization and/or control may alter substantially the patient's psychic state.
Therefore, the expert physicians should always be alert regarding this fact.
Any
pathologies implying sudden incapacity or debility impairing the reaction or judgment timing
in situations inherent to the activity should be subject to layoff, until full recovery.
c) Incapacity during the Provision of Pilotage Service:
1) Pilots shall be directed by the CP for medical assessment by a
Brazilian Navy Regular Health Board (JRS), when:
(a) Are not considered apt by accredited physicians;
(b) Show a decreasing working capacity in the exercise of the
Pilotage Service; or
(c) Are involved in casualties where hypotheses of human failure due to
health-related problems are raised.
2) In these cases, they shall be presented to the JRS of the relevant ZP for
assessment regarding functional deficiency. The expenses with the JRS medical survey will
be of the Pilot's responsibility.
- 2 - 24 -
NORMAM-12/DPC
Mod 5
d) Competence:
1) The Harbormasters and the DPC are competent to determine Health
Inspections (IS) of Verification of Functional Deficiency (VDF), and the Brazilian Navy
Regular Health Boards (JRS) are competent to perform them.
2) The DPC is competent to determine an IS at the level of appeal, as requested
by the Pilot through a formal application with explanatory statement, within the deadline of
120 days from the date of communication of the expert medical report appealed from.
Once granted, the appeal request will be forwarded to the Superior District Joint (JSD) of
the ZP jurisdiction, which will be the only level of appeal. The Pilot's Medical and
Psychophysical Assessment Report (Annex 2-J), issued by the JRS, shall appear as annex
to the presentation document.
3) The authorities with competence to determine an IS at review level by a
Board of Superior Level are the DPC, the Navigation General Director and the Navy
Commandant.
e) Procedures:
1) The Pilot for inspection will be presented to the JRS of the ZP of jurisdiction
through a confidential official letter, containing as annex a notarized copy of the last Pilot's
Medical and Psychophysical Assessment Report (Annex 2-J).
2) On occasion of the IS for VDF, the JRS shall complete a new Annex 2-J and
forward it to the requesting Authority, through a confidential official letter, filing a copy at the
JRS for subsidizing a further reassessment.
3) The Pilot for inspection, after duly presented to the JRS, shall report to the
JRS within five working days for scheduling the IS, bearing an official ID document, under
the penalty of filing of the IS for failure to attend with no justification.
4) The expert physicians shall assess the degree of interference of previous and
recently diagnosed pathologies with Pilotage Service activities, considering the clinic and
complementary exams and anamnesis data contained in the Annex-2J form received. The
Pilot being inspected should be physically and mentally able to perform his activities. The
loss of agility, ability to move quickly, ability to perform physical activities, even if
occasional, compromising the good performance of his function, or even the use of
medications, shall be assessed aiming primarily to the navigation safety. Pathologies that
can be assessed through complementary functional criteria (functional tests) will be
assessed this way.
5) The reports to be used with the purpose of VDF will be those contained in the
field WAYS OF CONCLUSION, intended for the JS, with the members' respective
identification and signatures.
6) Two degrees of incapacity may be attributed to the provision of
Pilotage Service: temporary incapacity and definitive incapacity.
7) The Pilots inspected are considered temporarily incapacitated for Pilotage
Service if showing signs, symptoms and/or confirmed diagnostics of pathologies that are
reversible, clinically or surgically controllable and that, within less than 24 months, may be
cured to the point of allowing the exercise of Pilotage Service activities completely and
safely.
8) The JS may issue temporary incapacity reports for a period of minimum thirty
and maximum 180 days per IS, within the maximum interval of 24 months of layoff from the
pilotage activity for health reason, counting from the initial temporary incapacity period,
even if the Pilot has not been reassessed during this interval. The open periods between an
IS that generated temporary incapacity and the next reassessment shall be computed as
uninterrupted periods of temporary incapacity for the purpose of computing the total time. It
is not necessary to issue a report for regularizing the open interval.

NORMAM-12/DPC
Mod 5
9) If 24 consecutive months of layoff are completed by the Pilot for health

reasons, the JS shall consider him definitively incapable for pilotage activities.
10) After the temporary incapacity period defined by the JS, if it is of the Pilot's
interest, he may be directed by the CP office for reassessment, for termination of the
incapacity. If not presented for such purpose until receiving the full aptness opinion from
the JS ("Apt for Pilotage Service"), they cannot be assessed by an accredited physician.
When considered apt by a JS, their subsequent reassessments return to the accredited
physicians' sphere.
11) Inspected pilots showing signs, symptoms and/or confirmed diagnostics of
pathologies of remote potential for reversibility or requiring more than 24 months for full
recovery, cyclic diseases and those subject to exacerbation periods, are considered
definitively incapable for Pilotage Service. This decision does not require an ex-officio
review.
f) Ways of Conclusion
1) In cases of full aptness:
"Apt for the Pilotage Service".
2) In cases of temporary incapacity (exclusively by a JS):
Incapable temporarily for the Pilotage Service, for _____________ days.
3) In cases of definitive incapacity (exclusively by a JS):
"Incapable definitively for the Pilotage Service".

Fax (021) 2104.5217.
2. Main purposes of the Report:
(1) Determine if the assessed professional Pilot meets the minimum requirements and is
physically capable to perform a Pilot's services.
(2) Ensure that the medical assessment is conducted by a physician accredited to
check the necessary information.
3. Routine to follow based on the information:

regular medical and psychophysical requirements have been met and the professional
Pilot is physically capable of bearing the Competent Certificate.
(2) This information becomes a documentary part and is subject of being reviewed by
the competent federal bodies.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE ACCREDITED PHYSICIAN OR HEALTH BOARD
THE BRAZILIAN NAVY, following Law No. 9,537 of December 11, 1997, regulated by
Decree No. 2,596 of May 18, 1998 and by the Maritime Authority Standards for the
Pilotage Service NORMAM-12/DPC, is obliged to follow up regularly the medical
situation of a professional certified and licensed as Pilot.
In this assessment, the physician shall certify that the Pilot is physically and mentally
capable of meeting the demand of pilotage service, observing the following parameters:
CONDITIONS TO BE OBSERVED BY THE PHYSICIAN:
1. Be physically and mentally fit for executing the hard and often times dangerous
services, in an effective and safe manner;
2. Have enough agility, as well as resistance and good health, for the manning of ships at
sea coming from a small boat, in different weather conditions that may cause violent
motion of the vessel. Be capable of climbing vertical ladders, often times as high as six or
more decks until reaching the bridge. Be apt to enter compartments passing through
doors with sills 66 cm high on average and be able to stand for long periods;
3. Be alert for sudden and unexpected dangers to navigation and have adequate ability
to react and maneuver, overcoming those dangers;
4. Have adequate vision in both eyes, in accordance with parameters established in
NORMAM-12/DPC, to be completely aware all the time of possible dangers to navigation
that may arise from any direction;
5. Have adequate hearing capacity, especially for perceiving and distinguishing fog
indicating sounds, like the whistle, bell, gong or other instrument used
-2-J-1-
NORMAM-12/DPC
Rev 1
ANNEX 2-J
by ships, in order to execute a quick and correct maneuvering decision under poor
visibility;
6. Do not present any condition implying sudden incapacity or requiring medication that
impairs the reaction or judgment timing;
7. It is important to stress that the Pilot has to care not only for his/her own safety, but
also, while being on board, to assist the ship's Master regarding the safety and well-being
of crew and passengers, besides the cargoes and boats;
8. Each Pilot should be assessed individually. However, chronic health problems left
without treatment or ignored by the Pilot, that may bring risk to the ship and crew, shall
be considered by the examining physician when assessing the examined person's
physical and mental conditions;
9. During the Pilot's medical assessment, the standards and criteria defined in
NORMAM-12/DPC Section VIII will be observed;
10. If the assessed pilot does not meet the minimum requirements or presents a medical
condition impeding the exercise of pilotage, the accredited physician shall suggest the
Harbormaster of jurisdiction over the ZP to direct the Pilot to a Brazilian Navy Health
Board;
11. The request for supplementary exams will be at the accredited physician's discretion,
with freedom to request any exams deemed necessary in accordance with the
anamnesis and clinical exam, age bracket, demands from the pilotage service and
provisions of NORMAM-12/DPC. The medical assessment expenses incurred will be at
the Pilot's account, or at the pilotage company's account if being the case. The clinical
analysis exams will be valid for three (3) months. Other exams will be valid at the
accredited physician's discretion, if not having subsidized a previous assessment.
