Broker Remarks

Fully converted Dutch Steel Beam Trawler. The owner is very flexible on the price. 
In July 2018 the vessel has been fully coded, ready for commercial work. She was also lifted out of the water having all anodes replaced and the hull antifouled. She is ready for starting a Charter Business. 

Suitable for: - Guard Vessel Duties/Dive support/Survey/Expedition/Rescue Vessel/Tourism/Charter
Also suitable for Live Aboard or Extended Cruising.

All the conversion work has been professionally undertaken and the vessel has a M.C.A. Class 2 Coding which includes compliance with European legislation implementing the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. 

The MCA conducted a full hull ultrasound survey in June 2016.

Since the completion of her refit Western Star has been involved commercially in ornithological scientific survey work, guard boat duties and tourism. She was also used on a long term charter bringing guests from Liverpool via France, Portugal and Morocco to Barcelona, where she is currently berthed. 

All the work undertaken has been inspected by a representative of the MCA (Maritime Coastguard Agency) and the vessel awarded a class 2 commercial coding which is also compliant with the UK national legislation implementing the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. Thereby enabling Western Star to operate commercially in non-British waters.

Accommodation

The Western Star has undergone a major transformation but has none the less maintained all the toughness, strength and sea keeping capabilities that were essential to her during her fishing years. Her main fish and ice hold has been converted to accommodate 8 clients, guests, friends or family in comfort. The crew’s quarters which originally slept 4 has now been converted to accommodate 2 with en-suite shower and toilet facilities. In total, there are four toilets aboard and three showers.

In addition, Western Star has been used as a filming platform for a television documentary and as a dive boat. Her large clear decks and a low free board together with her ability to remain over a dive site for extended periods make her most suitable for this purpose. 

With a fully equipped galley including cooker, oven hob extractor, 2 fridges, 2 freezers, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave all operating from a 24kva generator at 240volts, living on board is like a home from home. The high quality of the accommodation makes the vessel perfect for extended periods at sea
