Three Saints for Milford Haven
The Port of Milford Haven’s three new pilot boats will be named ‘St Brides’, ‘St Govans’ and ‘St Davids’ following a public competition which attracted almost one hundred entries.
The vessels are currently being built by Mainstay Marine Solutions at Pembroke Port and are designed to be used extensively in heavy weather, capable of operating in swells up to 5 metres in wave height.
Members of the public were asked to submit suggestions for the pilot vessel names and then staff at the Port voted for their favourites. The winning names were submitted by Captain Simon Harries who is Operations Manager at Astro Offshore PTE Ltd, an offshore and maritime chartering and brokerage company headquartered in Dubai.
