Austal Monohull
This 30m ferry with NSCV 1C survey for 184 people is for sale with a large price reduction to encourage sale.
The vessel is additional to the owner's fleet with a replacement vessel now operating the route. It is constructed from marine grade aluminium and was built by Austal in their Image Marine yard in the late 1990's. It was classed under Lloyds until its sale into Australia in 2016 and is suitable for operations in a tourist or passenger commute application.
It is priced on an "as is where is basis" due to current condition works required to reinstate the full performance of the propulsion system. Interiors were updated in 2024 at a cost of $500k when the 2024 5 yr survey was completed. The hull and other systems in the vessel are in good operational state.
