Safehaven Marine in Cork has unveiled its latest pilot boat for the Port of Leixoes in Portugal.

The Interceptor 48 will be put through sea trials over the next few weeks before delivery to the port north-west of Porto.

In the meantime, work continues on the new XSV20 powerboat design Thunder Child II for Safehaven managing director Frank Kowalski’s Atlantic speed record bid.
