If the ship is in Danish Territorial waters and the passage is not innocent then the Danish Pilotage Act applies. The main rule is Section 4:
In internal and external territorial waters there is an obligation for ships to use a pilot if they
- are carrying oil or have uncleaned cargo tanks that have not been rendered safe with inert air,
- are carrying chemicals,
- are carrying gases,
- have more than 5,000 t bunker oil onboard or
- are carrying highly radioactive material.
