Expressions of Interest (EOI) - Landing Craft Medium Voea Late (20-Aug - 3-Sep)
EOIs are now open for the Voea Late, a robust 30m Monohull Landing Craft originally designed for amphibious operations to transport vehicles, equipment, and personnel from ship to shore without the need for port facilities. Perfectly suited to regions with remote islands or limited infrastructure, this landing craft offers proven reliability in challenging conditions.
Formerly operated by the Tongan Maritime Forces, the Voea Late was deployed in humanitarian relief during the 2022 Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai volcanic eruption and tsunami, delivering food, water, and shelter to affected communities -- a testament to its endurance and versatility.
This vessel is well-suited for repurposing or refitting across a wide range of commercial applications, including:
o Marine Infrastructure Support
o Logistics & Cargo Transport
o Passenger Services
o Specialised Maritime Projects
The vessel is currently dry-docked in Cairns, QLD, and the EOI is inclusive of:
o Landing Craft Medium - Voea Late
o 20ft Container and Contents inside Container
o Vessel Spare Parts on Pallets, Vessel Ramp & Shafts
o Zodiac Pro Rigid Inflatable Boat (RIB) and Trailer Combination
Serious buyers only. Contact us today for further details.
