Aboard this mobile classroom, marine environment students learn about fishing gear technology, prawn trawling techniques, habitat mapping and aquatic sampling.

This former collier is moored permanently and has been renovated for use as a stationary training ship.

Seafaring students learn how to rebuild and maintain engines on board; and a damage control unit, comprising three floodable compartments, is used to train students and Department of Defence Pacific Patrol Boat personnel.

It is also used for conducting courses for the offshore and shipping industries for the crews of vessels that carry a fast rescue boat.
