Custom Training Ship
Built in 1954 by reputable Norwegian ship builder Verksted/Arundel to DNV Class. This North Sea Ship was used as a cargo vessel. Brought to Australia and transformed into a training ship used by border security and customs, this ship has been used in exercises and utilized as a floating classroom for government service. It is rated to South Seas and would be ideal as a island trader.

In excellent full working order, it is a testament to its current merchant marine owner. Alterations to rear double cabins and excellent maintenance should make this boat a versatile ship that could be at home as a people mover, cargo ship (40 tonne hold) with 10 tonne deck capability, training vessel, or long range live aboard dive/research vessel.
