Re- her length: Congasa arrived in Brisbane from Darwin a few months ago in a rather poor condition paintwise. She remained at the Raptis fishing wharf all that time until she was repainted. She is currently berthed at the Caircross Dry Dock's fitting out wharf. No structural work has been completed on her during this time so if she has been lengthened it was done at some time prior to arriving in Brisbane. Up close to her she doesn't appear as big as she looks. She will leave soon for Darwin. Tonnages given for this vessel alos vary. The Port of Brisbane lists her as 513 tons.
I've seen three different tonnages for her so far.

Hi John

Her clean bright colours certainly caught my eye - now I wonder how long she will stay like that :lol:
