MV Tura - Multi-Purpose Commercial Vessel | Charter, Research & Fishing Ready | In Survey to 2027
If you're looking for a highly versatile commercial vessel that can operate across charter, research, and fishing sectors, MV Tura presents a proven, ready-to-deploy solution. With a strong commercial build, recent upgrades, and multi-class survey certification, this is a rare opportunity to secure a true multi-role workboat.
Originally built in 1985 for commercial fishing in Tasmania, MV Tura was professionally converted in 2015 to support a broader range of operations. The result is a flexible, well-configured vessel capable of adapting to charter work, scientific research, or ongoing commercial fishing activities.
The vessel has recently undergone a major slipping and comprehensive maintenance program, ensuring it presents in strong operational condition. Key upgrades include a fully stripped and relined galley and the installation of a new Hiab crane, significantly enhancing onboard capability and versatility.
A major advantage of MV Tura is its current survey status and broad certification scope. The vessel is in survey and approved for 1B Diving operations (12 persons), 2B Charter operations (12 passengers plus 6 crew), and 3B Fishing operations (12 persons). Survey is valid through to May 2027, providing compliance and immediate usability across multiple commercial applications.
This level of certification allows operators to pivot between different revenue streams, making the vessel particularly attractive for businesses seeking diversification or expansion into new sectors.
This matters because vessels with multi-class survey, recent upgrades, and true operational flexibility are increasingly difficult to secure. MV Tura offers a compliant, adaptable platform that can generate income across multiple industries from day one.
MV Tura is a multi-purpose commercial vessel certified for diving, charter, and fishing operations, with recent upgrades and survey validity to 2027, offering a flexible and ready-to-work solution for commercial operators.
