Our team has undertaken multiple marine and oceanographic surveys aboard the MV Miss Rankin. Working in remote locations across Papua New Guinea brings logistical challenges, but with Tony and his team, we had the support we needed to plan and execute each charter within tight timeframes. The accommodation and saloon were well appointed and made the multi-week survey periods both comfortable and productive. The large back deck, practical layout, and onboard facilities - combined with the experienced skipper Tony Collins and his crew - ensured our deployments and data collection were carried out efficiently and safely. We would not hesitate to consider working with Tony again for future offshore marine survey needs.

I am delighted to be able to write a short testimonial for All Marine Charters, Cairns. Under the friendly and professional guidance of Tony Collins SAMS successfully completed several deep-sea surveys offshore from Papua New Guinea onboard the MV Miss Rankin. Working in a remote region with limited equipment was a challenge but Tony and the team provided an incredible service ensuring our project achieved all its aims. The MV Miss Rankin is very well appointed with comfortable cabins and a highly professional crew. The aft deck space is extensive and more than enough for marine sediment or biological sampling, oceanographic observations even for diving and fishing. I can wholeheartedly recommend Tony and the MV Miss Rankin for ocean science surveys and wish them even more success now they are based in Cairns as All Marine Charters.

Another great trip. Hope this is the second of many research charters, on which many great things happen.
