The Elbe Pilot association in Cuxhaven, Germany has strengthened its fleet with the addition of the new 2,462gt pilot station vessel Elbe designed for rough coastal waters and tidal estuaries. This 60.40m long and 24.60m wide newbuilding is based on the double-hull Swath (small waterplane area twin hull) design built by Abeking & Rasmussen, in Lower Lemwerder near Bremen, to the order of the Federal Ministry of Transport. The cost of the ship amounted to around 50 million Euros and is the first of two similar vessels for the German pilots. Delivery of the second vessel, named Weser, also took place in 2010.Propulsion is by means of a diesel electric power plant comprising four MTU 8V 4000 M50A high speed diesels, each delivering 760kW at 1,500 rpm, linked to AEM SE 400 L4 generators to provide power for the two l,200kW electric motors via ZF 9350 NC gearboxes.
