The first of the two Interceptor 48&#39;s for the pilots was supplied in July with her sistership launched in October. Ederra 6 and Ederra 7 are fully self-righting, able to recover from a capsize by a large breaking sea.&nbsp; 
 
The vessels are equipped with a new custom design sliding pilot boarding platform that can be set for different ship side to platform distances according to conditions.&nbsp; 
 
Powered by a pair of Volvo D13 500hp engines the pilot boats have an economical 25kt operational speed. Their main cabins feature a central helm position, are fully air conditioned and accommodate 7 pilots and crew all on suspension seating, with full live aboard facilities provided in a spacious forward accommodation for two crew.&nbsp; 
 
Both vessels incorporate Safehaven&#39;s MOB recovery platform and special heavy impact area / boarding fender arrangement offering a high level of protection to the hull and limiting pilot ladder entrapment when alongside. 
 
The two pilot vessels are Safehaven&rsquo;s 3rd and 4th pilot boats supplied to Montevideo and the company&rsquo;s 52nd and 53rd pilot boat delivered globally.
