Pilot 1500 has an operating speed of 27 knots with twin 450 horsepower Scania engines. The hull is divided into five watertight compartments and the wheelhouse stays totally dry in all weather conditions. There are efficient heaters in the wheelhouse and in the technical spaces where they are providing a comfortable working environment even during cold winters. The heat is produced by the engines, by a separate fuel operated heater or by shore power.

Full standing height throughout the whole hull plays a major role in the ergonomic work and service environment. The engines and equipment are located with generous service space on all sides. The wheelhosue is soft mounted, which leads to an exceptionally low noise level. All the six individual quality suspension seats are adjustable both with regard to the users' weight and length.
