Built in Vigo, Spain in 1993 during terrible weather. Delivered to AMSA Brisbane in March 1994 and I was an invited guest in Sydney where the handover took place (champagne and the lot) in front of the Maritime Museum.
She was commissioned by them to check on light houses and other services along the coast, you are correct here.
And especially for you Doug I hereby include some other spectacular photos during one of the drydockings in Fremantle.
I cannot remember the date (around 2000) but will find out.
I have heaps more photos, also depicting some poor condition inside the tanks. You need to be slim built.....
She grounded and had some plates to replace, also showing a bit about the paint job. She already had her first grounding in June 1994, few months after the delivery but that was light and the damages on the photos related to a later docking at Tenix.
In relation to the livestock vessel across the water, then I am also trying to find out more and will revert, on second thoughts I think she belongs to Rached Fares Group who have an office in Fremantle.
