Description

A 23.86 m double-rigged, single-screw steel refrigerated prawn trawler built in 1987 at Ocean Shipyards, Fremantle, WA. Designed for efficiency and reliability, this vessel is fully equipped for commercial prawn operations and has been successfully operating in the Australian Northern Prawn Fishery since she was launched. The vessel is also equipped with deep sea winches to allow access to the NWS Scampi Fishery during the NPF closures. In 2025 had her AMSA hull and shaft survey renewed. The hull also received a full sandblast and paint as seen in the spec sheet photo above.
