Atlantic Pilotage Authority
This 60ft (18m) fast Pilot Boat constructed for the Atlantic Pilotage Authority is responsible for providing Pilotage services to the Placentia Bay district in Newfoundland and the east coast of Canada. The vessel boasts a variety of innovations including a resiliently mounted superstructure to reduce noise levels in the wheelhouse and fender system, which features no through hull fastenings to retain the fender. Suitable for a two-member crew and up to four pilots, the boat is constructed of aluminum alloy and powered by Twin 800 hp Detroit Diesel 12V 2000 series engines for a speed of 25 knots at full throttle. Deck equipment includes a rescue platform recessed into the transom which can retrieve a casualty in the recommended horizontal recovery position. Also featured on board is a full navigation package primarily consisting of Furuno equipment.
