MV Claymore II is a New Zealand-registered passenger-cargo ship, built in 1968 as the buoy tender Konrad Meisel for the German Government and later owned in South Africa as Isibane. She provides the essential transport links to the remote Pacific territory of Pitcairn Island from New Zealand and French Polynesia, part-funded by the British Government.

Buoy tender

Konrad Meisel was built in 1968[note 1] by Jadewerft Wilhelmshaven GmbH, Wilhelmshaven for the Wasser- und Schifffahrtsamt Cuxhaven (Waterways and Shipping Office Cuxhaven) of the Federal Republic of Germany.[1][4] When built, she measured 514 gross register tons with dimensions of 48.82m LOA, 44.30m LBP, 9.56m beam and 4.65m depth, and a draught of 3.25m. She was powered by two Deutz 8-cylinder diesel engines, totalling 1103kW (1500bhp), geared to a single propeller. Over the single hold an eleven-ton crane was installed.[1]

During Konrad Meisel's 30-year service with WSA Cuxhaven, she was responsible for the maintenance of marine navigation buoys in the lower River Elbe and the adjacent sea areas.[5][6] In 1998 the ship was retired by the WSA Cuxhaven and sold to the South African Government.

The tender was allocated to the South African Maritime Safety Authority and renamed Isibane, Zulu for 'light', by which time she had been remeasured as 486 gross tons.[2][2][7] In 2004 she was sold to South African company Zonnekus Mansion Pty Ltd and transferred to the Panamanian flag.[4]

Passenger-cargo vessel

In August 2009 Isibane was purchased by Nigel Jolly, of Stoney Creek Shipping Co Ltd, Palmerston North, New Zealand, modified to carry cargo and 12 passengers, and renamed Claymore II.[3][8] Stoney Creek Shipping had been providing a passenger and cargo link to Pitcairn at the request of the British Government since 2002 with Braveheart, a former Japanese fishery research ship.[8][9]

Claymore II is contracted by the Pitcairn Island Council, and subsidised by the British Government, to make four annual round trips from Tauranga in New Zealand to deliver cargo and supplies to Pitcairn Island.[3][10] She also makes eight subsidised round trips each year, from Pitcairn for passengers to connect to the nearest air service at Mangareva, French Polynesia.[10][11] Outside these scheduled services, the vessel is available for charter.[12] As Pitcairn has no port facilities, all cargo and passengers are landed on the island from Claymore II by longboat.[13]

In 2014, berthing concerns made it unclear whether Stoney Creek Shipping Company Ltd would continue to operate the vessels from its base in Tauranga, New Zealand.[14]

Shipping on the MV Claymore II is subsidized by the Government of the Pitcairn Island, which specifies in its 2012-2016 Strategic Development Plan:

MV Claymore II – annual service: (i) cargo: 4 voyages to/from NZ; and (ii) passengers (12 berths): 8 voyages to/from Mangareva (closest island in French Polynesia with air services to/from Tahiti)[15]
