Teignbridge India PVT Ltd is proud to have supplied these two Wadia built 19m Pilot Boats. The contract speed of 18 to 20kn was easily exceeded with an impressive 22kn achieved during the sea trials.

The shaftline and propellers benefited from the partnership of advanced designs from Teignbridge UK and high quality manufacture at our wholly owned foundry and factory in Vadodara, India.

The boats were built under IRS Classification and fitted with twin 1000mm diameter x 4 blade skewed Aquaquad design propellers and a 75mm shaftline.

Article Watch out for hydrodynamic effects when manoeuvring your ship in restricted waterways

by SWZ|Maritime - published on 14 October 2021

Research on hydrodynamic interaction indicates that if the speed of the ship near a bank is too high, the rudder may be less able to cope with the forces induced and control will be lost. The Nautical Institute highlights this in its latest Mars Report, in which an LPG carrier hit a barge being towed by a tugboat as a result of hydrodynamic forces.
