My visit to Calshot Southampton on the 28th April 2023 was memorable for many reasons not least the number of different commercial and pleasure vessels that I saw and was able to photograph. Amongst my list of firsts was one of Associated British Ports (ABP) new pilot vessels. Of the total of 9 Pilot Vessels that ABP have purchased from Goodchild Marine Services Limited of Norfolk, 3 will be deployed at Southampton including Majestic featured in this image. According to an Internet based press release, these new vessels will be faster and more fuel efficient than the vessels they replace. In the image Majestic is seen approaching the Black Jack (Red) and Reach (Green) Buoys that mark the demarcation line between the Solent and Southampton Water. Out of the camera shot is the vessel Majestic was escorting which was the large containership CMA CGM Colomba which was in-bound for the Port's Container Terminal.
