Phoenix — DAVIE SHIPBUILDING LTD

PHOENIX was built as a robust steel North Sea trawler at Davie Shipyard in Quebec, Canada where she fished successfully for 30 years. PHOENIX then went through a generous ’04 — ’08, $10m+ extensive rebuild at Rockland Marine in Maine. Everything was stripped and replaced or renewed with new equipment and a yacht interior. PHOENIX retains her utility orientated, commercially capable, explorer appeal.

The current owners purchased PHOENIX in Portsmouth, Virginia and delivered her to Malta where they continued to make substantial improvements including installing a drone deck and using PHOENIX over the past three years to rescue over 33,000 refugees off the North Coast of Africa. Last year PHOENIX steamed from Malta to the Bay of Bengal (Myanmar) for more humanitarian efforts.

This long range vessel is suitable for Expedition/Research/Sub-Tender/Adventure Yacht, ice sheathed with a potential range of half way around the world. Huge crane, A frame available and deck space allow for vast research and/or tender/subs/toy deployment and storage. AvGas/drone compliant, heli-deck options.

PHOENIX is in commercial INSB class. Consumption of main engine + 1 — 100 kw generator at 9 knots is 104 liters/27 gallons per hour. Technically, she is superb and cosmetically she is ready to go able to perform many functions, including a great globe trotting yacht. PHOENIX accommodates 22. Note in the specification of the 2014 – 2016 improvements, they are only the latest of the good life of a distinguished ship with many more adventures ahead of her. Now PHOENIX is berthed in Dubai ready to continue her global expeditions.

On the main deck there is a salon and guest dining area with doors port and starboard leading out to the main deck and aft to the research lab, which opens onto the aft deck. Forward of the salon, to starboard, are three guest staterooms, 1 with queen bed, 2 with 4, each with private baths. The galley and mess are on the main deck to port. The next deck up, behind the wheelhouse is the Owner’s Suite with a queen berth and day bed, hanging lockers and plenty of cabinets, a private bath with a tub and a very pleasant, separate office, which has a door leading to the Upper Aft Deck. On the same deck, but forward of the wheelhouse, is a Junior Suite, consisting of a queen cabin and single cabin, sharing a head with a private entrance on deck. The junior suite is currently being used for captain and 1st mate. The interior is finished with cherry, maple and mahogany paneling or insulated panels and trim, center bead paneling overhead or, in some of the work spaces, sheet metal paneling overhead, all with recessed lighting. In the wheelhouse, the helm console, chart drawers and cabinets are finished in mahogany. PHOENIX has been completely sanitized since humanitarian activities.

The vessel’s propulsion system consists of a main and auxiliary engine (Father and Son) coupled to a common gearbox, driving a single variable pitch prop. Both are fed by separate fuel and control systems for safety and redundancy of the propulsion system.

Consumption of main engine and 100kW generator at 9 knots is 104 liters per hour.

Propulsion shaft was withdrawn and propeller hub dismantled. Shaft and bearings calibrated and all assembled back with new seals in March 2016.

The “Father” main engine is a Caterpillar 3512 with 1,200 horsepower at 1200 max rpm, 1988. The “Son” engine is a Caterpillar 353 with 420 horsepower. The two engines are solid mounted, side-by-side, on welded steel beds.

The gear is a (rebuilt 2014) Lufkin 6600. Each engine has an Eaton Air Clutch for engagement. The gear turns at a single constant speed, with engines set at operating RPM, turning a steel 8” shaft with six bearings and a variable pitch propeller. The stern tube is a gravity fed oil filled tube. Shaft pulled Spring of 2016 with entire drive train renewed.

The Lipps propeller, with Kort nozzle, was reconditioned 2016, new propeller blades were added and is outfitted with Lipps electronic controls. There are three steering stations. The bridge, two bridge wings, all new in 2005. The steering gear is of Rolls Royce Tjeneford manufacture, completely rebuilt in 2016. Power for the steering system is supplied by two independent hydraulic power units, mounted port and starboard of the steering quadrant. Either one or both may be used to power the unit at any time; they may be switched over with no loss of steering function. The rudder post is 6” steel.

FUEL TANKS 80,000 ltrs/21,134 gallons

Fuel can be transferred to and from the aft tanks. An emergency mechanical shut-off is installed in the forward guest quarters above. A second shut-off is installed in the starboard deck locker, outside of and above the engine room. The fuel lines are hard piped to the fuel filters at each engine then USCG Type A-1 hose is used from the filters to the engines.

There are two additional tanks in the stern of the vessel that were converted to ballast tanks in 2009. These tanks could be reconverted to fuel tanks with minimal changes. The total approximate 53,000 liters/14,000 US gallons.

Two tanks are integral with the hull. Starboard tank holds 11,806 liters/3119 US gallons and the port tank holds 6,567 liters./1735 US gallons. Both tanks have been opened, sand blasted, and painted with Amerilock 400. 3 pumps serve as primary pumps. Freshwater can be piped directly on board. Hot water is provided by a Bock diesel fired hot water heater, (new unit and exhaust stack 2005). The freshwater system is supplemented by a reverse osmosis Aqua Whisper 220 VAC water maker (new 2005). The unit is capable of making 6,813 liters/1800 US gallons of fresh water per day.
