Always great to see the vessels of the Dutch Pilot Association perform so perfect whith the ultra strong fender systems of Poly Marine Fender Systems

It’s not always calm seas, helicopters and fast speedboats. In the third weekend storm this year, the pilot embarks MV VERA D by fast launch craft of the Pilot Station Vessel PROCYON.
