A RARE OPPORTUNITY FOR CHINESE INVESTMENT IN A PRIME AUSTRALIAN INDUSTRY

MODERN STATE OF THE ART PRAWN TRAWLER/LICENSE AND EXPORT BUSINESS.

Presenting, a unique opportunity for an entrepreneurial Chinese investor syndicate or private company to secure a slice of the world renowned Spencer Gulf prawn market.

The Spencer Gulf prawn is in the highest demand by leading restaurants around Australia, with Spain and Japan currently the largest international buyers. This business opportunity would not only be a sound long term investment but a strong complement to the discerning seafood demands of the Chinese market.

For sale, as a package, is a rare opportunity to strategically enter the prawn fishing industry in the exclusive and prime South Australian Spencer Gulf Fishery.

The opportunity (business) operates out of the Wallaroo marina approximately 140 km northwest from South Australia?s capital city - Adelaide. An option to operate out of Port Adelaide or Port Lincoln is also available.

The vendor holds a Spencer Gulf Prawn Fishery license and International Export License (as per MSC accreditation). The business is now available as a fully operational going concern package, enabling the purchaser of the business, which includes a fully equipped and operational modern commercial fishing trawler, to fully capture what are steadily lucrative prawn fishing seasons.

Most attractive to a potential international investor is the option of retaining the services of the current owner/captain and experienced crew either on an ongoing basis or as a transitional measure whilst the investor evaluates his options. This also minimises any management/owner transition and interruption risks.

This exciting opportunity to enter the lucrative and internationally renowned South Australian Prawn Fishing industry will enable the purchaser of the business to take advantage of the expected demand and growth for Western King Prawn from the South Australian 2013 to to 2014 fishing season onwards.

By any assessment the business package is a premium opportunity to enter and invest in a world class fishery within a stable regulated environment and in doing so, leverage the potential growth in international demand for the South Australian Western King Prawn quality product.


The fishing vessel LIBERTY is fitted out with state of the art machinery and equipment and is being maintained to the highest standards with full record logs available.

The LIBERTY is built to completely process in an efficient and semi-automated way the prawn from capture through sorting, sizing, brining, cooking(as required), to packaging and freezing (25 ton hold).

Comfortable living quarters for up to a crew of 7 with all the comforts, entertainment and kitchen/bathrooms facilities complement this excellent presented vessel.

On behalf of Compass Rose SA. Pty. Ltd. a complete detailed presentation document with extensive photography and summary of equipment and machinery is available from
