anything of which the master is aware that is likely to affect the safe
operation of the vessel.
(2) The master of a vessel under pilotage must-- (a)
ensure that any order given with the master's authority by the marine pilot is
carried out, and
(b) give the marine pilot such information as the
marine pilot may require for the safe navigation of the vessel.

master of a vessel must not give to a marine pilot who requires information
for the navigation of the vessel any information that the master knows is
false or misleading.
(4) The obligation of a master under subsection (1) (a)
