Fremantle Ports Pilot Vessels Launch 2024


published on 15 October 2024 485 -

Found on YouTube. Created by "Fremantle Ports". Originally published on 2024-10-09.
Fremantle Ports proudly launched two new locally built pilot vessels that will facilitate efficient ship movements fundamental to the operations of the port.

The $7.6 million Berkeley Class pilot vessels are West Australian-built in Geraldton by Dongara Marine and have a proven reputation as fast, reliable, comfortable and suitable for local conditions.

The vessels will be mastered by Fremantle Ports’ Small Craft team who deliver pilots to ships every day of the year, in a range of weather conditions. The boats also have a secondary role undertaking security patrols of port waters.

Fremantle Ports’ employees and stakeholders took part in a naming competition and the vessels were ceremonially launched and blessed Parker and Kwilena.

Parker recognises former Fremantle Ports CEO Michael Parker who acknowledged the high-risk nature of marine pilot transfers and was committed to improving safety for all. Parker’s sister ship is named Kwilena, the Noongar word for dolphin reflecting the cultural significance of our waterways to the Whadjuk people.
