TS609 16.97m Barbarian Steel Trawler


TS609 - Barbarian - Comprehensive Commercial Fishing Package | High-Capacity, Multi-Zone Operation

If you're looking for a complete commercial fishing package with serious quota, multi-zone access, and high-volume processing capability, Barbarian delivers a fully integrated, ready-to-operate solution. This is a large-scale opportunity built for operators focused on efficiency, flexibility, and maximising returns.

At the core of the package is a Queensland Primary Commercial Fishing Licence (PCFL) with L3 and T1 symbols, providing access to key fisheries across both line and trawl sectors. This is supported by a substantial TEU portfolio, including 1,414 Southern Offshore units, 1,287 Southern Inshore units, 4,929 Central units, and 55 Northern units, along with 53 hull units--offering broad operational reach across multiple zones.

Refrigeration and onboard processing are standout features. Barbarian is equipped with dual Bitzer compressors and a high-capacity freezing system, including a 1-tonne dry freeze with FDC, a 60 x 5kg deck snap freezer, and a 15-tonne dry freeze room with dual FDC systems. This setup allows for efficient handling of large catches, supporting extended trips and maximising product quality.

The vessel is further enhanced with practical and performance-focused features. A large alloy net rack and awning provide efficient deck storage, while chain and paravane stabilisers improve stability and working conditions offshore. The vessel is also equipped for both scallop and prawn operations, giving operators flexibility to target multiple fisheries.

This matters because packages of this scale--combining vessel, licence, TEUs, and advanced refrigeration--are increasingly difficult to secure. Barbarian offers a turnkey solution that reduces setup time, increases operational capacity, and allows you to operate at scale from day one.

Barbarian is a comprehensive commercial fishing package including vessel, PCFL with L3 and T1 symbols, extensive TEUs across multiple zones, and high-capacity refrigeration systems, offering a fully integrated and ready-to-work solution for serious commercial operators.
