Happy to announce that Safehaven Marine have been awarded a contract with the Port of Sines, Portugal to supply a new Interceptor 48 pilot boat. We built our 7th pilot boat for the port of Sines back in 2009, and their new vessel will, some 12 years later be our 50th Pilot boat

In early Jan, @GOCAirCorps introduced us to the latest addition to the @IrishAirCorps fleet. A lot has happened since but our new @PilatusAircraft PC12NG’s are now on their final journey towards Casement Aerodrome. Further updates to follow.

Tomorrow is National Services Day. It's a day to reflect on the work that our emergency services do every day to keep us safe. Organisers have asked that people make some noise at 3pm as a way of saying thank you. We'll be making some noise of our own over Dublin city!

For most of this week media attention has focused on the failure of people in power to make the best decisions for the greater good. 👏 to @nevilleskibb and the @R117Waterford crew for their selfless & often unnoticed sacrifices. Thoughts also with the donor family #heroes

@TiernanGray Hi Tiernan, It must have been a harrowing experience for your father and the dive team to recover the pilot. I remember all the local boats rushing out to search with the lifeboat that day, for years after the boat owners said it was a horrible experience.

The Irish Air Corps has operated helicopters continuously since 1963. Today is #WorldHelicopterDay. Take some time to reflect on these amazing machines, the work they do and the people that fly, maintain and operate them.

So we successfully set a new powerboat world record for the over 50 ft class Cork-Fastnet-Cork at 2 hrs 36 minutes (subject to ratification by the UIM) averaging 44.6 kts with a maximum speed of 53 kts. Thunder Child II ran great throughout 👍

[Safehaven Marine @SafehavenMarine]

Rounded the Fastnet all going well. Great to see all the boats out to support us. Homeward bound
