Ireland: Port of Cork Awards Safehaven Marine New Pilot Vessel Contract

Safehaven Marine have been awarded the contract to build the Port of Corks new pilot vessel. This was a very special award for us as this is our local Port, and having built their last new pilot vessel, the Gleann Mor, an Interceptor 42 pilot delivered over six years ago, we have built up a great relationship with all the crew and pilots and are delighted to be, once again six years latter building their new pilot vessel.

They have chosen this time our new Interceptor 48, which is very closely modeled on their previous Interceptor 42, which has worked so well, especially in the rough conditions the Port can experience. The new vessel will be powered by twin Volvo D13 550hp engines and be built to reflect the very latest refinements we have developed in our pilot boats.

Their new vessel will be an example of the high level of fit out and engineering Safehaven Marine incorporate into all our vessels, as we continue to establish ourselves as leaders in pilot boat design and production.
