FOR SALE - 32 Metre Offshore Vessel
SHADOW BOAT CONVERSION OPPORTUNITY
vessel description
The 32 metre multi-role catamaran, has a tough workmanlike appearance typifying the work coming out of the specialist yard in southern Australia where she was built. This ocean-going vessel has been used in the pearling industry where she served as a seeding vessel. Consequently, she features a large covered, open ‘workshop’ type area and large salt water storage tanks.
Built of Marine Grade aluminium, this vessel has been built with heavy scantlings, designed for open ocean use. With a beam of 10.85 metres she is voluminous on deck and has significant working covered working areas.
With two 360HP Iveco marine diesels she has a top speed of 12 knots and cruises very economically at 9. Power is transferred by two Twin Disc MG5114 gear boxes, through conventional shafts driving 5 bladed propellers. There is also a Perkins 75hp and a Iveco 120hp to operate the generators and hydraulics.
She carries 48,000 litres of ships fuel, 20,000 litres of fresh water and has a 2000 Litres per day desalination plant. The vessel impresses with its commercial bulk and multipurpose ability, thus enabling it to efficiently complete a job well. The 2.1 metre draft allows it to work in relatively shallow water, and yet the sturdy construction and stability make it equally at home on the high seas. This vessel is a seamanlike vessel, with traditional craftsmanship on a catamaran form.

superyacht support vessel conversion possibilities
The dimensions and enclosed workshop bias of this vessel makes it an ideal candidate for conversion to a shadow boat role. The extensive crew accommodation and expansive covered area forward combine to create, with minimal modification, a vessel that can effectively handle tenders, helicopters, submarines in any number of combinations.
The extended foredeck of the vessel and her inherent stability, make this an ideal platform for helicopter support. There is enough room for full size helicopter landing pad, onboard fuel storage and extensive maintenance areas. All with adequate room for a 110m2 fully enclosed garage for tender storage.
The existing accommodation for 25 can be upgraded to accommodate a smaller number of crew at a higher standard. The bridge deck has a captain and mate’s cabin already and the bridge area could be upgraded to a full state of the art digital helm area as needed. The four existing salt water tanks are perfect for conversion into 4 x 16.5m3 bunker fuel tanks with minimal work and no impact on the interior arrangement.
Currently the vessel is in commercial survey to domestic Australian standards. A gap analysis is required to identify any issues with compliance with large yacht code (LY3) or ship classification society requirements.
Concept drawings/sketch renders are attached of these various layout options. Obviously, these are customisable for any specific requirement a client may have. The owner of the vessel, also being the builder, can make any refit modifications required in Australia. Alternatively, if the client prefers to use a yard elsewhere, the vessel is presently fully sea-ready and capable of transiting to anywhere in the world.

Your team delivered on every mark. You’ve got an amazing broker in Mark Wattrus and I’m confident you will have continued success moving forward together. He was available 24/7 whenever I had questions. We had a great initial visit on the boat and his marketing plan and photos were superb
I bought a yacht that I had never seen. I did this because I trusted my broker Andrew Holland. It was not an easy job for Andrew, as I am an experienced boat builder and owner of previous yachts, but work in West Africa. Imagine how hard it was to communicate what I was looking for. Andrew came up with exactly what I wanted. He dealt with time delays, all my questions at odd hours, and was there for the survey. He reported honestly and professionally. After buying the yacht, I arrived at the boat on a Sunday night, after dark, after travelling from West Africa to the Caribbean, and found it was better than expected. He never pulled punches and made me aware of shortfalls. I expected to spend my one month leave working on the boat, but actually spent less than one week, and was able to spend 3 weeks sailing – wonderful bonus.
Thank you Andrew for putting up with all my questions, all my worries and all my crazy out of the time zone concerns – you were totally professional, but also I know that if and when we meet up, it will be like a friend finally meeting. You are always welcome on Aseka.
Outstanding company with professional subject matter experts. If I were to buy or sell cruising sailboat, particularly a catamaran, Andrew would be my go to broker.
I have been sailing since I was a child and attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy. But when my wife and I began the process of purchasing an ocean cruising/racing catamaran, I realized that this is a world unto itself. Obviously, we needed to find someone knowledgeable to help us make an informed decision. More importantly, we needed someone honest and willing to put our interests before his or her own. I was lucky to work with Phil Berman at The Multihull Company. He repeatedly shunned the fast buck, choosing instead to work the long road to connect us with the “perfect boat”. I would be glad to recommend Phil and his company to anyone planning to purchase or sell a performance sailing machine.
Andrew Hodgdon was our broker when we bought our 2018 Lagoon 450F in Antigua in April 2922. He provided great service and was very attentive to our needs. We would highly recommend Andrew and the Multihull Company.
