TS582 - TUB - Steel Single Chine Trawler | Fully Equipped, Licensed & Ready to Work
If you're looking for a fully equipped commercial trawler with strong quota, full gear, and immediate operational capability, TUB delivers a complete, high-capacity fishing package. This is a serious, ready-to-work vessel suited to operators who want scale, efficiency, and flexibility across multiple fisheries.
TUB is offered with a Queensland Primary Commercial Fishing Licence (PCFL) along with L3(1) and T1 symbols, providing access to both line and trawl operations. The package includes substantial effort units across all major zones, with 1,178 Northern TEUs, 601 Central TEUs, 401 Southern Inshore TEUs, and 687 Southern Offshore TEUs, supported by 17 hull units--giving broad operational reach and flexibility.
The vessel holds a current Certificate of Operation, supporting compliance and allowing for immediate commercial use.
Fishing capability is comprehensive, with a full trawl setup already in place. The vessel is fitted with steel gallows and A-frame, 4m booms, and configured for triple gear operation with louvre boards and skids. It includes stainless trawl wire and multiple net sets, covering full-size gear and try net, allowing for efficient and productive fishing from day one.
Hydraulic systems are well set up, including side winches, a stainless lazy line winch, and hydraulic try gear off the boom, supporting smooth and reliable deck operations. Stability is enhanced with rigid stabilisers, while a large alloy net rack and awning improve deck efficiency and storage.
Refrigeration and storage capacity are designed for output, with a 3-phase 10hp Bitzer compressor system, snap freezer capability, and approximately 100 x 10kg freezer storage. Additional onboard systems such as dry exhaust, bilge systems, and alarms further support operational reliability.
This matters because vessels offered with full licensing, strong TEUs, and complete fishing gear are increasingly difficult to secure. TUB provides a turnkey commercial solution that allows you to step straight into productive operations with everything in place.
TUB is a steel single chine commercial trawler offered with PCFL, L3(1), T1, extensive TEUs, and full trawl gear, delivering a high-capacity, ready-to-operate fishing platform.
