Maintained, Compliant and Operational

Working vessels earn while they operate. Maintenance planned around your schedule — rather than reacting to a failure — keeps time on the hardstand predictable.

The facility supports fishing, pearling, charter, tourism, workboat, survey, research, coastal and government fleet vessels where appropriate.
