Candela was originally built by De Havilland in Sydney for the Commonwealth Department of Transport specifically as a tender vessel to the lighthouse supply ship Cape Moreton and was therefore purpose designed to go alongside ships in open sea conditions. Because she is so well suited to that type of work, she is used primarily for service runs to ships at the Gladstone Fairway anchorages awaiting entry into Gladstone harbour delivering and/or picking up ships’ crew, surveyors, repair & tradesmen, spare parts, stores etc.

Salina is a heavily built steel lines/workboat. She has flexible capacity to deliver ships’ mooring lines but is also able to carry deck cargo up to approximately 5 tonne with flat open deck space of 3.5m x 3.1m plus additional space either side of the engine box each of 3.1m x 1.05m, giving a total available flat deck area in excess of 15 sq metres. She also has pusher/tug capacity and has been used in those roles on numerous occasions in the past for a wide variety of marine maintenance and construction work and salvage operations. She is a displacement hull vessel and operates at a normal cruising speed of approximately 7+ knots.

Diva 6 is a 10 metre aluminium barge that is used primarily to support dive operations but she has substantial flat deck space that facilitates the carriage and transfer of vehicles, stores, spare parts etc. She also has pusher capacity to assist in movement of dumb barges when required. Diva 6 and Diva 8 are both owned and operated by Realf’s Diving & Salvage, a local Gladstone based business, but both barges are available to GPS on a cross sharing of assets arrangement between the two businesses.

Diva 8 is a 12 metre aluminium barge and, like Diva 6, she is used primarily to support dive operations but she has substantial flat deck space that facilitates the carriage and transfer of vehicles, stores, spare parts etc. The larger available deck space and displacement of Diva 8 mean that she has correspondingly larger load carrying capacity. Diva 6 and Diva 8 are both owned and operated by Realf’s Diving & Salvage, a local Gladstone based business, but both barges are available to GPS on a cross sharing of assets arrangement between the two businesses.

Ellen and Ellida are two sister ships primarily designed to deliver ships’ mooring lines and are built in aluminium. However, they are in appropriate survey class to enable operation in open water and accordingly, can also therefore be engaged for deliveries of goods/deck cargo/personnel to ships anchored at the Gladstone Fairway anchorages. They have enclosed cabins which provide all weather protection for passengers and crew engaged in any such deliveries.

Ruys is a Wright designed lines launch built of marine plywood. Whilst her primary work is the delivery of ships’ mooring lines, she has an enclosed cabin which provides all weather protection for passengers and crew which in turn makes her suited to limited passenger transfer work in partially smooth waters as well. She has an area of flat aft deck space of approx 1.1 m x 2.2. m which also gives her suitability and capacity for delivery of small parts/deck cargo in partially smooth waters. She is a semi-planing vessel and operates at a normal cruising speed of approximately 10 to 11 knots.

Reflex was designed and built specifically as a lines launch to deliver ships’ mooring lines in the port of Gladstone, constructed in steel. She is extremely manoeuvrable and ideally suited to the task but she is also surveyed to carry up to 6 passengers within defined smooth water and on rare occasions has been used for instance, to transfer ships’ crew from shore to liferaft for lifeboat drills. However, her primary task and best suitability is for the delivery of ships’ mooring lines from ship to shore. She has flat open deck space of 2.0m x 1.9m and can be used for delivery of small parts/deck cargo in partially smooth waters. She is a displacement hull vessel and operates at a normal cruising speed of approximately 6 to 7 knots.

Little Calypso is a planked hardwood timber lines launch. She is a classic and historic vessel having been designed and built by Bundaberg Slipway specifically as a lines launch to deliver ships’ mooring lines in the port of Gladstone and has only ever been used for that purpose. Having been purpose designed, she is extremely manoeuvreable and ideally suited to that task. She is a displacement hull vessel and operates at a normal cruising speed of approximately 6 to 7 knots.
