Aurora Australis Was Decommissioned In 2020
Aurora Australis was an Icebreaker 1A Class research ship previously operated by P&O Maritime. The ship had an active service life of 30 years.
Aurora Australis was decommissioned in 2020, amid attempts to retain the vessel in Hobart as a floating museum. Although these efforts were unsuccessful, the ship's tender, Aurora Australis II, was acquired by the Aurora Australis Foundation with the aim of making it the centrepiece of an Australian Antarctic Museum. Further tracking information will likely not be available.
