A fleet of five 17m Camarc boats have been delivered to the Hong Kong Pilots.

Built by Cheoy Lee Shipyards, these 25 Knot vessels feature the Camarc refined hull, the Popsure fender system, a self-righting capability and a roof-top boarding gantry to suit local pilotage operations.

A new, resin infused, high performance self-righting composite pilot boat, representing Cheoy Lee’s first collaboration with Camarc Design in the UK. Utilising Camarc’s refined double chine hull, supported by extensive tank testing, the design promises outstanding performance, efficiency and comfort in adverse weather conditions.
