Pilot boat LUNA is a small Dutch-flagged port pilot tender, primarily deployed to transfer pilots at coastal and inland waterway ports in the Netherlands, as well as undertake in-harbour transport and auxiliary operations.
The vessel has an overall length of approximately 19 metres, a moulded breadth of 5 metres and a draught of merely 1.5 metres. Featuring a compact, agile hull with shallow draught, it is well-suited for operations in narrow waterways and shallow inshore zones.
Constructed with a steel hull and fitted with twin-screw propulsion, it boasts excellent manoeuvrability and moderate speed. It can safely berth alongside and cast off from large vessels under complicated wind and current conditions to facilitate pilot transfers.
Equipped with full sets of navigation and communication equipment to support round-the-clock port operations, it serves ports including Tollebeek and Urk in the Netherlands year-round, acting as a vital harbour work craft safeguarding the safe arrival and departure of local ships.
