TS646 13.95m Sherona - Steel Prawn Trawler | Licence & TEU Package, Proven & Ready to Work
If you're looking for a reliable steel prawn trawler with established capability and a substantial licence package, Sherona presents a complete, ready-to-operate opportunity. Combining vessel and fishing capacity, this is a practical solution for operators focused on immediate productivity and long-term value.
Built in 1990 with a solid steel hull and raised foredeck, Sherona provides a stable and dependable working platform suited to prawn trawling operations in Queensland waters. The vessel has a proven operational history and is well suited to both established operators and those stepping into a capable commercial setup.
Included with the vessel is a Queensland Primary Commercial Fishing Licence (PCFL) with T1 authority, along with 6,735 Northern TEUs, 99 Central TEUs, and 317 Southern Inshore TEUs. This allocation delivers meaningful fishing capacity across multiple zones, allowing operators to work flexibly and maximise output.
Powered by a Volvo main engine and supported by a Caterpillar genset, the vessel offers reliable day-to-day performance. With strong fuel and water capacity, Sherona is suited to extended trips, helping operators maximise time on the water and overall efficiency.
Accommodation is practical and functional for commercial use, while the vessel's layout supports efficient workflow and consistent production.
This matters because securing a vessel with licence and TEUs in place reduces setup time, lowers risk, and allows you to operate immediately within regulated fisheries.
Sherona is a 13.95m steel prawn trawler offered with PCFL, T1, and significant TEU allocation, providing a proven, ready-to-work commercial fishing package.
