SAFEHAVEN
LAUNCH NEW PILOT / S.A.R. VESSEL
Safehaven
Marine have just launched a self-righting pilot / rescue vessel and will
be displaying her afloat at Sea work 2012. Based on their successful
Interceptor 38 pilot, four of which have just been delivered to the
Azores
Islands
. The Interceptor Pilot / S.A.R. vessel has been designed for multiple
operational roles of pilotage, patrol and search & rescue, and in
this latter respect, the design is self righting. Numerous special
features have been incorporated in respect of her self righting
capability (by way of her superstructure buoyancy), automatically
closing crossover air vents past 70 degrees, Seaglaze watertight doors,
19mm double glazed toughened glass windows, special engine breathing,
fuel and exhaust features allow the engines to keep running
during roll over. The design features accommodation for 5 crew / pilots
on CAB 500 suspension seats with harnesses and up to 6 survivors in her
spacious f/wd cabin. The vessel is powered by twin Volvo D9 500hp
engines through ZF V drive gearboxes turning Clements Engineering
supplied 5 blade propellers, providing a sprint speed of 27kts and an
operational speed of 22-23kts. The vessel is heavily fendered for pilot
operations, her aft deck is enclosed with safety railings and she is
fitted with removable guard rails on her side decks for S.A.R ops. An
M.O.B. recovery davit can be folded out from her superstructure side for
use in conjunction with a Jason's Cradle for casualty recovery. A very
comprehensive navigation package is fitted with the helmsman being
provided with a highly developed helm position, with car standard
ergonomics to provide the utmost control of the vessel in rough
conditions. To further assist in this respect the vessel is fitted with Humphree
HA500 (asymmetric 500mm interceptors) with BTOS function ride
control. The interceptors allow the helmsman to optimize running trim
and bow attitude in rough conditions. The navigator is provided with his
own dedicated position with repeat navigation / radio equipment. A 3kw
inverter provides onboard 240v and multiple CCTV cameras and PTZ
thermal camera, monitor and recorded the engine room, f/wd and aft
views, all displayed on a large screen at the helm position. The vessel
is built under survey by BV and is fitted out to a very high standard to
reflect the engineering and design excellence Safehaven deliver.
Safehaven have been able to capitalize on the excellent reputation for
seakeeping abilities their vessels have gained worldwide and, following
on from their recent contract to supply a lifeboat based on their
Interceptor 48 to the Faroe Islands rescue service, they are ideally
positioned in this niche market, as well as offering the security of
'all weather self righting capabilities' to pilots and ports worldwide.
Safehaven launch their 23rd pilot vessel this month demonstrating their
pre-eminence in this market.
