BUILD AND ALTERATION HISTORY
Singmarine Industries was awarded the $13.3 million contract to build the RORO, Searoad Mersey by Australia National Line on the 29th August 1989. Searoad Mersey's keel was laid on the 6th December 1989 as Hull 178 and was launched on November 29th, 1990.
Searoad Mersey arrived in Melbourne on the morning of 19 April 1991, after the delivery voyage from Singapore and took up its regular service that night.
In the third quarter of 1996, Searoad Mersey underwent lengthening at the Pan-United shipyard in Singapore. The process involved cutting the vessel in half and adding the new midship block between the existing forward and aft sections.
This increased Mersey's capacity from 120 to 186 TEU. This also increased the following measurements to the new ones below
