Its central wheelhouse gives great visibility, and shock-absorber seats for six ensure comfort. With a GM-designed hull, it reaches up to 30 knots, offering speed and easy control. 🌐 www.izmirshipyard.com Passionate about the sea, innovation, and quality craftsmanship. 🌊 #IzmirShipyard #pilotboat #MaritimeExcellence #TurkishShipbuilding #NewVessel #EngineeringMarvel...
