New pilot boat has vibration issues
Inspections on Orkney Islands Counci’s brand new pilot vessel, the "Scapa Pathfinder" were to be carried out after an unexpected vibration was detected. The vessel only arrived in Scapa Flow on Aug 31, 2019, having sailed 1,400 miles from the Spanish shipbuilders. The issue could see the boat travel to a shipyard on the Scottish mainland for closer inspection. The launch has been performing well, with crew training underway, since arriving in Orkney. The Orkney Islands Council’s Head of Marine Services, Engineering and Transportation, however, detected an unexpected vibration and will be using divers to carry out a survey and then assess what steps need to be taken next. If required, this could involve a further inspection at a shipyard on the Scottish mainland.
