Description

his twin hull multipurpose catamaran was built as an oil skimmer ad pollution control vessel for her Original Japanese Owners. She was built by Mitsubishi at Kobe, Japan in January 1980.

Owners are putting her into survey with Cook Islands which will be completed before sale. Owners note that the gantry shown on the plan is not in place, and they also comment that the plan shows a single row of containers on the deck, whereas she can actually carry two rows of containers.

The vessel is ideally suited to servicing small islands with shallow draft and limited facilities. She can carry up to 125 tonnes of deck cargo and also has cargo fuel tanks 2 x 32.6 cubic metres.

We understand that Owners have maintained her to an excellent standard and the engines have been regularly rebuilt and have low running hours.
Owners note that the gantry crane shown on the plan is no longer fitted as you will see from the photo of the vessel stern.
Price guidance can be given to interested parties.
Owners will also consider long term charter to suitable counterparties.
