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.
