The MV Trinity Bay (formerly the Korean registered Faesco 103[1]) is a 1,567 gross register tons (GRT), 80 metre long, Coastal Freighter owned by the Seaswift shipping company based in Cairns, Australia.[2] It runs a weekly service supplying communities on the Cape York Peninsula and in Torres Strait. Formerly a Sand Dredge, the Trinity Bay was converted into the current layout during the year 2000 in Cairns Shipyards.[3] Even though the ship is a fully commercial cargo ship, she regularly carries 40 passengers to and from Thursday Island.[4]

The Trinity Bay also works to replenish other Seaswift vessels, and occasionally carries CSIRO scientists to monitor the condition of the northern Great Barrier Reef.
