With more than three decades of experience manufacturing ships for commercial and defence customers, and production facilities in Australia, the United States, Philippines and Vietnam, we are renowned for delivering proven and reliable naval vessels.

 

An efficient, modular approach

At the heart of our manufacturing approach, is a commitment to quality, efficiency and safety, combining advanced technologies with smart manufacturing processes to deliver vessels.

We take a modular approach to our shipbuilding operations across the globe. This involves building prefabricated modules of a ship indoors and transferring to our large vessel assembly bays to complete the manufacture of each vessel.

Automation drives productivity and accuracy across the value chain, from robotic welding, to automated material handling and computer controlled cutting and forming. Our systems minimise error and reduce waste whilst allowing our skilled tradespeople to focus on innovation and craftsmanship.

Through the application of digital twin technology and with a digital thread connecting each stage of the manufacturing process stage, our customers can be assured of a quality product, that is built on time and on budget.
