Safehaven Marine Puts Pen to Paper With P&O Maritime for a Fifth Pilot Boat

Safehaven Marine says it has signed contracts with P&O Maritime Logistics for an Interceptor 48 — its fifth pilot boat for the company.

“It’s always great to have a repeat order, especially a fifth as it’s a fine testimony to our pilot boats capabilities,” the Cork performance boat builders say on social media, adding that it will be built “to a very high specification”,

The new pilot boat will be tailored for hot-weather operations at P&O Maritime’s projects in Maputo, Mozambique and will be powered by 13-litre 500hp engines from MAN in Germany.

Delivery is estimated for early 2024.

About the Class 40

The Class40 is a kind of monohull sailboat primarily used for short-handed offshore and coastal racing. It is dedicated to offshore racing and has been around since 2004, serving as an intermediate oceanic boat between the Mini 650 (6.50m) and the 60-foot IMOCA (18.24m). The boat is strictly regulated, with a maximum length of 12.19 m. These boats are designed to sail in all weather conditions, and their performance has recently improved significantly. It is not uncommon to reach speeds of up to 26 knots (according to GPS), and planing up to 15 knots is normal.
