Does anyone has info for above vessel? All I know is that saying in Alamy webpage and that she was built by Thornycroft in 1960.

The layout of the guardrails would indicate that's its possibly a Pilot Boat

They were actually crew boats for Shell oil platforms in Maracaibo gulf. Any info for their specifications?

More images of the PL3 can be found here:

It seems to be a well-photographed vessel, obviously the Napier publicity department went all out. The PL3 was built by John I Thornycroft Ltd.
