Grampian Explorer
Built by hall Russell of Aberdeen (yard no: 926), for Aberdeen Motor Trawlers Ltd, as Aberdeen Explorer A765. She was launched on 17/5/65 and completed on 6/8/1965.
She had a length of 134ft 10in and a beam of 29ft 4in. Her gross tonnage was 454 tons. She was powered by a 1,100bhp Mirrlees 7-cylinder diesel.
She was based in Aberdeen until 1968, after which she was moved to Fleetwood and renamed Boston Explorer FD15.
In 1979, she was converted to an oil rig safety vessel and renamed Grampian Explorer.
She was later sold to German Owners and converted to a motor yacht, still using the name Grampian Explorer. She appears to have been scrapped in 2009.
She was still listed as active in 2020. However, as there are no further records confirming her existence, it’s most likely she has been scrapped.
IMO: 6514091.
