J3575 : Pilot boat 'Caledonia' at Belfast
taken 10 years ago, near to Belfast, Co Antrim, Northern Ireland
Pilot boat 'Caledonia' at Belfast
The 'Caledonia' is an example of the latest, and largest, Redbay Stormforce boat Link . Known as the 1650, it is larger than other boats in the range at 16.5m in length and is "intended for a variety of commercial applications including Pilot, Patrol, and Passenger carrying usages" Link
(Archive Link ) . This one still has 'demonstrator' on the side so I am not sure if it has been acquired for pilotage services in Belfast Harbour as yet, although it has been extensively used/tested by them (at the time of writing Redbay are offering it for sale - price £450,000). See also the YouTube video at Link .
[ Update: this boat went to the Mersey as the pilot boat 'Puffin' Link and SD1301 : Burbo Bank Windfarm Construction, Liverpool Bay ]
