Safehaven Marine has shared video of sea trials for its latest Interceptor 48 pilot boat Oued Martil.

The clip gets up close with the rough weather the boat is designed to handle with ease, including on-board 360-degree camera footage going through big breaking seas — as well as some drone footage on a foggy day alongside Brittany Ferries’ vessel Armorique.

Oued Martil is the third self-righting, all-weather-capable pilot vessel that the Co Cork boat builder has supplied to marine services company Svitzer, this time for their pilotage operations in Tangier, Morocco.

 

Previous commissions include the Oued Rmel, which was delivered to Tangier with great success in 2018.
