NEW INTERCEPTOR 55 PILOT VESSEL FOR THE PORT OF ADEN, YEMEN NOW LAUNCHED.
The Port of Aden in Yemen's new pilot vessel has now been launched. She is powered by twin Volvo D16 750hp engines through TwinDisc 5135 gearboxes giving her a maximum speed of 28kts comfortably exceeding her contract requirement by a large margin. On her delivery voyage from Youghal to Cobh her performance proved excellent, with light responsive steering, perfect trim and very low noise levels, providing a comfortable environment for her pilots and crew. She is built for very hot climate operation with a high degree of redundancy, she features twin 7kw generators powering 3x 24,000btu air conditioning units and high power engine room ventilation fans.
