Procedures When Transiting Esquimalt Harbour All users of Esquimalt Harbour are required to follow the direction of the King’s Harbour Master (KHM). This includes, but is not limited to, checking in and out with KHM, staying out of any Controlled Access Zones (CAZ), monitoring VHF Ch 10, 16 and following any instructions given by a representative of KHM or CFB Esquimalt. These procedures are put in place in order to ensure the safety and security of, not only Canadian Armed Forces personnel and their equipment, but all users of Esquimalt Harbour.
When entering Esquimalt Harbour and exiting the CFSA marina or any other location from within the harbour contact KHM via VHF Ch 10 and state:
  1. Vessel name
  2. Number of personnel onboard
  3. Intentions
During CFSA sanctioned events the controlling authority for that event may contact KHM on behalf of the group. For example: Race Committee, Junior Advisor and coach/instructor will call into KHM to inform them of the day’s event. This is to include an estimated time of completion. On long distance races skippers are to check in with KHM individually as they return to Esquimalt Harbour.
