Safehaven Marine have proudly launched ‘Murshid,’ the first of two 18-meter, all-weather-capable Interceptor 60 pilot boats destined for DP World’s pilotage operations at the Port of Jebel Ali in the UAE. This flagship vessel exemplifies the engineering excellence Safehaven Marine is renowned for worldwide.

Based on an extended version of the proven Interceptor 55 platform, ‘Murshid’ boasts a dynamic combination of speed and efficiency. Powered by twin 700hp Caterpillar C18 engines, her new hull proved so efficient that it exceeded expectations during sea trials, achieving an impressive speed of 28.5 knots, over three knots above the contracted speed. Beyond performance, her sleek and graceful lines make ‘Murshid’ a visual standout, embodying both form and function.


Designed with great attention to detail, ‘Murshid’ offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to meet the demanding needs of pilotage operations. At 60 feet in length overall (LOA), the vessel accommodates up to 12 pilots in comfort, thanks to a thoughtful combination of shock-mitigation seating,  a well-appointed dinette seating area and a pilot command station. A central helm position ensures optimal visibility and precise vessel control, promoting safety and efficiency during critical boarding maneuvers.




Acknowledging the unique challenges of hot-climate operations, Safehaven has equipped ‘Murshid’ with 80,000 BTU of air conditioning, powered by dual 20kW generators for redundancy. Full live-aboard facilities, including spacious forward accommodations, further enhance the vessel’s versatility and usability. Additionally, her robust fendering system incorporating Safehaven’s proven sacrificial boarding fully protects her from the rigours of boarding operations, and the inclusion of multiple safety features such as an MOB (Man Overboard) recovery platform, which incorporates an external helm position to augment recovery operations, showcases the vessel’s innovative design ethos.



As the 62nd pilot boat delivered by Safehaven Marine to ports around the globe, ‘Murshid’ represents another milestone in the company’s legacy of excellence. It underscores Safehaven Marine’s pre-eminence in the specialized pilot boat market, a reputation built on proven seakeeping ability, engineering prowess, and an unwavering commitment to quality.

Downloading gaming apps online often becomes frustrating because many files either fail during installation or start lagging badly after setup sessions from mobile devices during regular browsing online. Yesterday evening while relaxing comfortably at home, I spent some free time exploring different platforms and testing how smoothly everything works from my phone. Surprisingly, Jalwa Game download stayed stable throughout installation and even after continuous browsing the app still felt smoother compared to several similar gaming platforms I have tried recently online.
