TS605 Maxim 18.16m Trawler
TS605 - Maxim - High-Capacity Commercial Trawler | Well-Maintained, Licensed & Ready to Work
If you're looking for a proven commercial trawler with strong capacity, solid licensing, and immediate earning potential, Maxim delivers a well-maintained, fully operational solution. This is a vessel built for efficiency and output, with the systems and scale to support serious commercial fishing.
Maxim presents in excellent condition and is ready to go straight to work. The vessel is offered with a Queensland Primary Commercial Fishing Licence (PCFL) and T1 symbol, supported by 5,000 TEUs, with additional effort units available by negotiation. With 60 hull units and 55 conversion units, this is a well-positioned package for operators seeking both capability and flexibility.
Refrigeration and storage are key strengths. The vessel is equipped with dual Bitzer systems (20hp and 12hp), a 1-tonne brine tank with stainless coils, and approximately 15 tonnes of total freezer capacity. With 102 x 10kg freezer bins across three snap freezers, Maxim is designed for efficient catch handling and high-volume operations.
Hydraulic systems are supported by a 20hp power pack, ensuring reliable performance across deck operations. The vessel was slipped in 2025 and has been consistently maintained, reinforcing its readiness and reducing the likelihood of immediate capital spend.
This matters because vessels with strong refrigeration, solid licensing, and proven upkeep allow operators to maximise time at sea, increase catch efficiency, and operate with confidence. Maxim offers a balanced combination of scale, performance, and operational readiness.
Maxim is a fully equipped commercial trawler with PCFL, T1 licence, and 5,000 TEUs, offering high-capacity refrigeration and a ready-to-work platform for efficient commercial fishing operations.
