This is the third pilot boat we’ve built for their pilots, following ‘Ederra 6 and 7’, both Interceptor 48’s we delivered in 2022, which have worked very well for the pilots over the last several years. Overall she will be the 4th pilot boat we supplied to Montevideo including ‘Belgrano’ in 2020.
‘Ederra 8’ is also the fastest pilot boat we’ve built by some margin, her Volvo 750hp engines providing her with an operational speed over 30kts. She is also extremely economical for such a large 18m pilot boat, using just 168 litres per hour at 24 knots.
