Pilot boat of Berbera

Following in a long line of ever more refined and very seaworthy vessels, this small example of a Safehaven pilot boat has been chosen for operations on and around Scotland’s Cromarty Firth.

After 30+ years of service, the vessel needed to be re-powered. A $1.7 million re-powering project was initiated and completed during 2004.

She is destined for their pilotage operations at Jebel Ali in the UAE, the Worlds ninth busiest port and follows their first Pilot 60 ‘Murshid’ delivered last December.

Unless you were paying attention on your last cruise, you might have missed the pilot boat bringing the pilot out to your cruise ship. Here's the story in 4K. Hey, be sure to subscribe too!
