Engines

When you build a Lloyds approved vessel you have to design the vessel so that every aspect of the build has been thought out and approved BEFORE construction. The designers of this vessel made sure all aspects of this vessel were thoroughly examined to provide a vessel that would operate in safety in any part of the world. The engine room for instance is both heat and sound insulated with approved materials from the rest of the vessel. Ventilation is via vents in the deck house sides and as an added safety feature these are ducted internally to prevent water ingress ate extreme heel angles. The designers have calculated the amount of ventilation required not only for the machinery but for the Pilots on board as well.

Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL has been designed around the all NEW Volvo Penta D9 engines.

NEW Volvo Penta Penta D9
This is the state of the art electronically controlled marine diesel engine combining both performance with maximum comfort. With Port Authorities the world over concentrating on protecting the environment as much as they can this Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL is fitted with one of the lowest exhaust and noise emissions and yet still delivers unbelievable performance with minimal vibrations resulting in superior onboard comfort. This all NEW performance engine is an in-line 6 cylinder marine diesel engine with a cylinder volume of 9.4 litres.

Volvo Penta realise that all marine engines are being scrutinised to ensure they are the most environmentally friendly the industry has to offer. That is when they came up with the D9 and its control system called the EMS2 which is designed to control the emissions. Analyzing the fuel requirement no less than 100 times a SECOND, the EMS2 ensures faster response from the helm, lower fuel consumption resulting in longer cruising range and minimal exhaust emissions.

This can be modified if required to suit local conditions but with the twin 355 BHP Volvo Penta D9 engines distributing the power through the twin disc 5114 gearboxes down the shafts to the propellers, you deliver a maximum speed of 35 Knots and an impressive 27 knots at two thirds the power. Operating at 2000rpm will result in you being able to refuel every 11 hours total running. The Volvo Penta D9 engine is manufactured to 500 BHP and restricted to 355 BHP. It can be uprated to run at 425 BHP two hours out of every six.

Any PILOT VESSEL has to be able to deliver its crew on demand and that is where the manufacturers of these WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSELS have designed in reliability in every aspect of the construction. Take for instance the cooling of these engines. PILOT VESSELS tend to be used where the operator delivers the Pilots as fast as possible and then heads back to base as fast as possible. This means everything has to revolve round this and the manufacturers taking this into consideration designed the engines to be cooled with their own independent filtered sea water. The engines themselves are mounted on vibration proof mountings on strong bearers. The manufacturers realized that these vessels could be sold to any part of the world and therefore have based the reliability on ensuring that every aspect of the design recognizes this as a principle to work to. Take the drip trays as an example. The manufacturers have designed a drip tray for each engine that allows for 110% of the quantity of all engine cooling and lubricating fluids. They have designed in simplicity of maintaining the engines by allowing good clear access for inspection, observation and routine maintenance and minor repairs to be carried out.

The Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSELS have been designed as you will see in each of the sections with safety in mind. An example in the engine room is the way the engines are started. A single pole isolation switch is provided for each engine and is mounted on the helmsman`s control panel. This simple but effective method of starting the engine prevents accidental starting of the engines during routine maintenance.

The manufacturers of the WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL has put safety before cost. Too often these days the construction is centred round cost before safety. An example of this is the Bilge Pump. Being a clutch operated engine driven bilge pump it is designed to operate by drawing from a bilge main and discharging over the side. This pump is also able to draw water from a filtered sea water supply to provide water for fire and act as a deck wash main.

BUNKERAGE
Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSELS are designed to provide the operators to maximize the potential of these superb vessels. The designers of this vessel taking into consideration how economical they are to run designed the bunkerage on board to be 1100 Litres. This fuel is stored in two aluminium tanks to keep the weight down. The tanks are well baffled to stop the fuel slopping around and they are each fitted with inspection covers and sight gauges. They are filled via water tight, flush deck connections. Again for safety they have designed the tanks so that they can deliver the fuel to the engine from one or both tanks to each engine. The emergency shut offs are operated by and found on the control station at the helm. Duplex fuel filters (changeover type) are fitted to each supply.

ELECTRICAL
The main engines are fitted with alternator units (engine maker supply) charging 4 12-volt batteries linked in series to provide a split 24-volt system, starter batteries/boat load batteries. The main distribution supply is through breaker switches. Electrical power is supplied from Battery Sets which are housed in suitably well ventilated box for supplying the power to lighting, engine starting and essential services. Emergency services are distributed through a separate board for automatic operation of the electric bilge pumps and fire detection alarm systems.

FIRE DETECTION
Probably one of the worst nightmares is to have a fire at sea. The manufacturers of these Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSELS did not miss when they designed in the heat detection system with alarms taken back to the control panel at the helm. A remotely operated extinguisher system is installed in the engine space.

BILGE PUMPS and ALARMS
Every boat takes on some amount of water and when the designers of this boat looked at where it was to be used, the weather it could be used in and the fact that these vessels are usually on call 24/7, they made sure the pumps were there to support it. The main engine driven pump is more than capable of discharging all spaces via the bilge main. As an additional safety feature there is electric bilge pumps fitted with float switch triggers in each main compartment. The bilge pumps all discharge above the water line as an additional safety feature. As well as the engine driven bilge pump, the electrically operated bilge pumps there is also an additional hand pump which is connected to the bilge main as an extreme back up.

ALARMS
High level alarms are included with indicators in the wheelhouse.

EXHAUSTS
With more and more attention being focused on the environment the exhaust system on board these vessels have superb silencers to reduce the noise through the exhaust systems. The system itself is strategically placed to avoid gases entering the accommodation spaces under any condition.

Construction

PILOT VESSELS are manufactured all over the world in aluminium, GRP and steel they are all trying to find the market they have been designed to serve. Nowadays with Governments all over the world cutting back on expenditure it is very easy to fall into the price driven trap. This is where manufacturers are placing the importance of cost before safety. Wright International Ltd has been long aware that something may cost less initially, only proving to be more expensive in the long run with component failure and lack of reliability. When Wright International Ltd sat down with our designers we stressed there was another way and that was to design inherent strength and safety into the vessels by creating a range of vessels and not one vessel for all.

Wright International Ltd is proud to be able to Design, Fund, Build and Deliver these vessels to anywhere in the world. This Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL has been specifically for use in seas up to force 4, in category 3 waters, at speeds of up to 35 Knots and constructed to comply with Lloyds Register of Shipping. The GRP construction of these PILOT VESSELS is based on the well proven hull that is the 33 Ft Workboat. The deep `V` planning hull with the integral spray rails provides a comfortable and safe ride across a wide range of speeds and sea conditions.

PILOT VESSELS throughout the world require to be coded and that is why our designers selected Lloyds Register of Shipping Special Service Craft for the design of the hull, deck and deck house. The machinery and equipment complies with the MCA Small Commercial Vessel and Pilot Boat Code of Practice for operations in Area 3 with maximum of 4 persons on board. Both the Manufacturers and Wright International Ltd are well aware that different regions of the world may require alternative manning levels and crew numbers to comply with their authorities that is why these vessels are individually designed and not mass produced.

The Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESELS are sub-divided into 4 watertight compartments in order to have a good level of residual buoyancy in the event of one of the compartments being compromised. ALL hulls are inspected during the build by the Seafish Industry Authority.

No PILOT VESSEL would be complete without a CRP Popsure fender system to the deck edge with additional topside protection.

Cathodic Protection
An approved system of sacrificial cathodic protection is installed.

Painting
The main hull is gel coated in oxford blue, the accommodation in white with a high visibility (rescue orange) upper face.
The lower hull is in white anti-foul with appropriate water-line mark.
The painting scheme and anti-fouling, including all the preparation is as recommended and specified by an approved marine paint supplier.

Accomodation

The dictionary defines a Pilot Vessel is – A vessel used to carry a Pilot to a ship. The Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL delivers TWO Pilots. So when you design a vessel you take into account who and what this vessel is being designed to do. Nothing depicts this ethos more than the ACCOMMODATION. Pilot Vessels are workhorses of the sea delivering Pilots to ships when required and above all in safety. Pilot Vessels have to go out to meet the ships that have crossed the world oceans and the docks being as busy as they now are have allocated these Ocean Wanderers a slot to offload their cargo and it is up to the Pilots to ensure the vessel gets there on time.

WHEELHOUSE
The control centre for the whole ship maintaining a watch on both Pilots as well as machinery. The Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL was designed to follow the conventional and classic pilot boat lines with the wheelhouse aft of midships. This gives the helmsman a clear view of the boarding area. The wheelhouse itself has a cored construction which allows insulation of both heat and sound.

After listening to what Pilots wanted the designers of this Wright International Ltd WIL 1605 10m PILOT VESSEL selected the steering position to be starboard mounted with a fully adjustable seat on a base that is adjustable to allow seating or standing helm operation. Seating of a similar type is provided for 2 pilots and 1 crew in the standard wheelhouse configuration. All seats are fitted with seat belts as standard.

Pilot vessels have to go out in all weathers and this means there has to be electronics on board to allow the helmsman to know exactly where he is at all times. The dark matt finish moulded console contains all the engine and steering controls, instrumentation, compass, etc he will ever need. There is ample space for all communication and navigational equipment.

Wipe clean, simple moulded fittings are used to avoid separate trims and panels. Fitted deck covering is of hard wearing, non slip easy clean material. Access from deck is through an aft facing watertight door. The forward facing windows are fitted with wipers, washers and de-misters. All windows are double glazed in clamped aluminium frames with one slide opener to each side. Tinted glass to the sides, rear and roof with forward glazing clear.
