? This vessel was built to very high specifications for the Canadian Government where it served for many years as a survey and patrol vessel in the North Atlantic and northern Canadian waters.  The vessel design is proven to be super seaworthy.  The vessel was rebuilt in the mid 1980s by the Canadian Coast Guard.  The vessel was sold to owners who used it for underwater survey and research, deep sea dive operations and treasure hunting.  With this in mind the vessel was refit and upgraded between about 1997 and 2000 and later on as well.  A moon pool was added.  The vessel was constructed with a helicopter deck.  The helicopter deck requires re-certification which can be accomplished for a very reasonable cost.   The vessel was designed and built, like many Canadian Coast Guard and Navy vessels of the time, with 2 pairs of engines driving 2 shafts.  The vessel could run on 1, 2 or 4 engines to match speed and sea-state in the most fuel efficient manner.  Top speed with 4 engines was 25 kts.  Currently 2 of the 4 engines are de-commissioned so the vessel economically cruises at 10-11 knots with a top speed of about 12-13 kts.  There are 2 very low hour replacement engines available that could be purchased and installed that would re-configure the vessel to be able to reach 24-25kt speeds.  This would make the vessel a perfect patrol, convoy or anti-piracy vessel and one of the only vessels on the market today able to achieve this speed.   This is a vessel with unique multi-function capabilities.  The vessel is operational and in class.  Owners will consider serious offers.   BUILD & SPECIFICATION   Built Davie Shipyard of Canada in 1968 Registered Sierra Leone Classed IRS International Register of Shipping LOA 71.40 m Beam 12.20 m Draft 4.8 m GRT 1455 NRT 436 Deadweight 600   MACHINERY   Main engines 2 x Fairbanks Morse, 2 x 2640 bhp Auxiliary engines 2 x Caterpillar, 2 x 365 kW Bow thruster 200 hp, 2 x CCP propulsion Twin rudders Fuel capacity 315 ton Water capacity 67 ton Water makers 2 x delinators Emergency generator Cummins   DECK EQUIPMENT   A-Frame 10T manned Aft crane port  & starboard, 2 x 1500 kgm @ 5m RIB workboat 10 person Deck loading 5T / sq m Winch 6 ton Moon pool fully retractable Aft deck under cover 240 sq m Helideck no longer certified, available space   ELECTRONICS   Radio Full GMDSS Radar 2 x Furuno Communication – Inmarsat B, C, M Gyro Sperry SR 120 Autopilot Sperry Echosounder Furuno GPS 2 x Furuno Weatherfax Furuno   ACCOMMODATION   Cabins – 5 singles, 12 doubles, 3 triples Crew 17; Supernumeraries 18 Survey room, 2 offices, TV lounge Cafeteria style mess room with segregation for officers Full air conditioning, heating & ventilation
