MNG Flattery (ex-NOAA Research Vessel Ocean Starr) was recently refitted for security service in the Pacific over a 6 month period in Tacoma, Washington, prior to transit to Singapore. Over a million dollars was spent on machinery service and interior upgrades. This vessel has previously earned $14k-$16k per day in scientific charter. The offshore wind developers are currently contracting vessels for 2021/2022. The vessel has benefitted from a long and successful charter history with NOAA and other ocean science institutions. MNG Flattery is U.S.- built and is a former NOAA research ship that is in class It has everything needed for long endurance at sea (25-30 days), including walk-in freezers and refrigerators. She has a range of 10,000 miles and with water-makers and commercial fishing capabilities she can stay at sea for many weeks, or even months. MNG Flattery can be configured to be a fabulous “under the radar” world cruising platform for family, friends and company. Ready for adventuring Ready to be a serious mother ship Ready to be a serious floating surf shack Ready to be a serious long range globe trotter Ready to make a difference doing serious science MNG Flattery (ex-NOAA David Starr Jordan), has been a work horse for NOAA and science. So far she has spent an estimated 8,949 days at sea and sailed more than 1.3 million miles. Researchers aboard the vessel measured and weighed 1,000 sea turtles, took 27,000 photographs using remotely operated vehicles (ROVS), and conducted 27,000 oceanographic sampling casts, 22,000 plankton tows and 4,700 fish trawls. The ship has participated in expeditions extending from ALASKA to Peru and the Galapagos Islands. This past year, Ocean Starr was chartered to a private non­profit studying the Pacific gyre (floating plastic), base­lining and recording this danger to our oceans. OCEAN STARR should be seriously considered by the hard core adventurists. General   Cruising Speed: 10 knots Max speed: 12 knots Range: 7,500 nmi Power: 1,068 SHP Fuel Capacity: 50,000 gals.

The ship’s operational area included the U.S. West Coast and eastern Tropical Pacific, where researchers investigated seasonal variations in ocean temperature, currents and salinity and assessed the status of marine life. The San Diego, Calif.­based ship collected hydrographic and biological data on the California Current System during California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) research cruises. During this project, researchers studied the marine environment off the coast of California, the management of its living resources, and monitored the indicators of El Niño and climate change with quarterly cruises off southern and central California. NOAA Ship David Starr Jordan also played an important role in yellow fin tuna fishery research that led to a major reduction in dolphin mortalities. Data collected on the Jordan were critical in supporting the “dolphin­safe” tuna campaign and labeling requirements. “The David Starr Jordan was a workhorse for more than 40 years, supporting the management of fish, marine mammals and sea turtles,” said Steve Murawski, Ph.D., NOAA’s chief scientist for fisheries. “We celebrate the crew, scientists and vessel as we look to the future.” NOAA Ship David Starr Jordan was a floating laboratory equipped with temperature­controlled aquaria and live specimen wells, walk­in freezer, dark room, data processing laboratory, and an underwater observation chamber in the bow and port side for studying fish behavior at sea. The ship was also equipped with a helicopter pad to support aerial observations and photo survey missions. The ship’s twin 500­horsepower diesel engines give the ship a 12­knot cruising speed. The ship is named after David Starr Jordan (1851­1931), one of the best known naturalists and educators of his time. He wrote more than 50 books and published over 600 scientific papers on topics ranging from ichthyology (the branch of zoology dealing with fish) to advancing world peace. In 1879, Jordan became president of Indiana University and was selected in 1891 as the first president of Stanford University. Jordan was a member of the California State Fish Commission, and his investigations of the exploitation of the salmon and fur seal populations helped save these species. NOAA’s mission is to understand and predict changes in the Earth's environment, from the depths of the ocean to the surface of the sun, and to conserve and manage our coastal and marine resources.     Disclaimer The Company offers the details of this vessel in good faith but cannot guarantee or warrant the accuracy of this information nor warrant the condition of the vessel.
