QUEENSLAND

This project involved the conversion of a container vessel into a livestock carrier, repurposing an existing hull rather than building a new ship. Converting a container vessel in this way makes use of its large internal volumes; livestock carriers of this type are fitted with ventilated decks, pens, and feed and water systems to keep live animals healthy during long voyages.

The project was approved by Bureau Veritas (BV) and executed under Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Ireland (IRISH) and Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) Rules. The 117.90 m vessel provides a total net cargo area of about 6000 square metres distributed across six cargo decks.
