Quality Assurance

Our goal is to keep customer equipment fully operational throughout its lifecycle and provide the most responsive, efficient and reliable service possible. Quality assurance is guaranteed by:

Experienced personnel equipped with the latest diagnostic test equipment;

Access to an extensive spare parts inventory;

Regular manufacturer training seminars for our technicians; and

A Quality Plan established in accordance with AS/NZS ISO 10005:2006. Our work meets the requirements of major classification societies like DNV-GL and OEM standards, regardless of where it is done.

What are the busiest ports in Australia…and how do we service them?

Australia is an extremely large country with ports and harbours spread throughout the region. Many of these ports are in remote regions of the country and present logistical complications with supplying service and support.  

We continue in our pursuit to supply a comprehensive level of service to all of Australia’s major ports.

The majority of vessels entering Australian waters visit the east coast of Australia from the north. The main shipyards for major vessel upgrades are also located on the east coast in Sydney, Newcastle and Brisbane. The demand for service related work is predominately focussed around these cities. However, requests for service are not limited to these cities and often also include the Pacific Islands, South East Asia and the offshore oil fields of Western Australia.

Most vessels stop at more than one port whilst in the Australian region, allowing service visits to be conducted at more

Ports of Australia (Map from website http://www.portsaustralia.com.au)

than one location or to be delayed to a port in which service personnel are available. Bulk carrier vessels often spend several days offshore awaiting to enter the required port to be loaded with cargo.

There is no single port which dominates the Australian market. This means that there is a need to have either a large number of resources spread around Australia

or to utilise a number of key resources including the Australian air travel services to best service the vessel as required. We have chosen to use the latter approach. Our ship service business is built around a team of dedicated professionals and suppliers that are on hand to ensure a high degree of support and services across Australia.

Health and Safety

We manage health and safety risks to personnel and stakeholders through our successful Quality Management System (QMS) and strategy.

We promote a safe and healthy working environment to our employees and partners, and comply with local WHS legislation.

Our personnel, including Field Service staff, are trained regularly in environment, health and safety matters and are provided with all appropriate safety gear to carry out services in a safe and timely manner. Field Service professionals are trained and certified for working on installations in any environment.
