TS620 18.3m Trawler Bonnie R

TS620 - Bonnie R | Commercial Trawler with Major Upgrades Completed | Recommissioning Opportunity

Commercial Fishing Vessel for Sale - Queensland

Bonnie R presents an excellent opportunity for commercial fishing operators seeking a vessel with substantial upgrade work already completed but requiring further recommissioning before returning to service.

Significant investment has been made into key onboard systems, refrigeration infrastructure, and structural repairs, creating a solid foundation for an owner looking to complete the remaining works and bring the vessel back into operation.

Recent upgrades include extensive improvements to the freezer room, with new insulation, upgraded FDC units and brand-new compressors installed to support efficient catch storage and product quality management. These improvements represent a major expense already undertaken and provide a strong platform for future commercial operations.

Structural works have also been completed, including repairs and replacement of both port and starboard midship hull sections. The hull has been fully sandblasted and repainted, improving both presentation and long-term durability. New gallows have been installed, and AMSA inspections were conducted throughout the upgrade process.

While these major works have been completed, **Bonnie R is not currently in survey and is not ready for immediate commercial fishing operations**. The vessel will require additional work, inspections and recommissioning before returning to service. Buyers should undertake their own assessment regarding suitability and remaining requirements.

For operators looking to acquire a commercial trawler with significant capital improvements already completed, Bonnie R offers an opportunity to avoid much of the costly structural and refrigeration work often associated with older fishing vessels.
