Pilot
Pilot boats operate in tight channels, busy harbors and changing conditions where control and reliability matter on every run. Laborde Products supports pilot boat operators with marine engine solutions built for responsive performance, dependable service and the long hours required to keep port traffic moving safely.
Power for Demanding Pilot Boat Operations
Pilot boats need propulsion systems that can respond quickly, operate reliably and stand up to daily use in challenging marine environments. From harbor approaches to offshore transfers, the right engine helps crews maintain control, stay on schedule and support safe vessel movement.
Laborde Products works with pilot boat operators to match engine options to the vessel, route, duty cycle and support needs. Popular choices for pilot applications include Scania marine engines such as the DI16 and DI13.
