Description
Camarc Ltd Design/Croft Marine Built Pilot Boat.
This particular vessel is from a one-off Pilot House design suited to diving/survey work. the Cummins NT855 with a MG507 Twin Disc gear box is included however it is seized. This engine has been removed from the boat but it will be supplied with the vessel in parts.
We do have a used 2020 Caterpillar C7.1 (350HP) diesel engine with approx 20 hours use that could be used if required. We will sell the boat as is or with the option of the Cat engine. Speak to us about your requirements.
The steel hull construction and typical pilot vessel features such as the fendering, functional MoB transom door, lifting davit, hydraulic bow thruster made it ideally suited to many commercial roles. The vessel also has very good pushing capability due to its design. It was an MCA Coded to Cat. 3 vessel.

The wheelhouse is placed amidships at deck level to facilitate ease of access for pilots to enter and leave the cabin area.
WHEELHOUSE: The helmsman and crew have a dedicated seating Helm, 1-2 crew, 2-3 pilots, 5 seats in total. A chart table and storage draw and central wooden door opens outwards onto the after deck. The helm console is positioned centrally to maximise peripheral vision and all operational instrumentation can be easily monitored including electronic navigational aids, engine controls and instruments. Passive lighting is provided for night operations and the vessel is fitted with appropriate internal and external lighting including deck illumination. Access to the fuel tanks, steering pumps and valve chest via a hatch in the middle of wheel house deck and access to the engine room and fore peak via a hatch STB side of the in the wheel house.
