800m³ Cargo Fuel Carrier

WARRIGAL is a 39.25m steel self propelled fuel and water lighter, launched in 1982 by Williamstown Dockyard as a Wallaby Class Fuel Lighter for the Royal Australian Navy. She was one of only 4 built and was designed and built to Class specifications and can go back into survey. Warrigal was in use by the RAN before being decomissioned from ADF service in 2020. One of the other four Wallaby Class vessels is currently being used to transport large quanities of fish food for commerical farming.

She can carry 800,000 litres of fuel, 300,000 litres of fresh water and 70,000 litres of sullage. All tanks are double bottomed. Twin deck-mounted Dorman 6QTM 6 cylinder turbo diesels (223kW) with Capital HY-400 gearboxes give a 6 knots cruise speed, with two G. E. C Harbourmaster units mounted forward and aft. Fuel consumption is economical at 70 litres per hour with both main engines and the generator running.

Power is provided by a Detroit SS-330-32 40kVA generator with 1,463 hours, with house and engine batteries. Bilge pumps are mechanical and electric.

It has recently come down to the Gold Coast from Darwin. The main engines performed well on delivery and run very economically at 6knots using only ~70LPH between both main engines and the genset. The pumps and tanks are reportedly in working order and there is minimal fuel onboard

Accommodation is one cabin with two berths, a shower, a toilet and a galley with a four burner stove, oven, microwave and sink, with refrigeration and an electric hot water system. Navigation equipment comprises a VHF radio, chart plotter and compass. Safety gear is as per AMSA 2C, with a 406 MHz EPIRB, life jackets and fire protection.

The vendor plans to slip the vessel at Brisbane Boat Works pre-sale and give her a fresh coast of antifoul and hard stand maintenance.
