Pilot Vessel Trident Annual Maintenance

Pilot boats are an essential part of our maritime world where they provide safe passage for ships to and from the harbor. The Swedish Maritime Administration (SMA) has 23 pilot stations in Sweden.

Made from marine-grade aluminum, the IZ 1150 AL Pilot Boat supports propellers, water jets, or outboard engines. Its central wheelhouse gives great visibility, and shock-absorber seats for six ensure comfort. With a GM-designed hull, it reaches up to 30 knots, offering speed and easy control. 🌐 www.izmirshipyard.com Passionate about the sea, innovation, and quality craftsmanship. 🌊 #IzmirShipyard #pilotboat #MaritimeExcellence #TurkishShipbuilding #NewVessel #EngineeringMarvel...

Recently, Svitzer took an important step towards strengthening its presence in Africa by signing a five-year contract with Nacala Logistics in Mozambique for harbour towage, occasional pilot transfer and potential salvage work in the port of Nacala. At the same time, Svitzer also secured a five-year extension of its current contract with Egyptian LNG assisting the land-based Idku LNG plant with four tugs, two mooring boats and one pilot boat.
