Maritime compliance consulting for commercial vessels across Australia

Based between Brisbane and the Gold Coast — within the vicinity of Boatworks, GCCM, and Rivergate — with straightforward access to every major Australian marine hub from Darwin to Melbourne. We serve vessels wherever they are based, undergoing refit, or in transit.

Australian coverage

Marine precincts we serve

Our Brisbane/Gold Coast base puts us within easy reach of Australia's most active commercial marine yards and marinas, and same-day internal flights make every other major hub accessible. We serve vessels at all of the following locations — access is arranged through the vessel owner or manager in the usual way.

SE Queensland & Gold Coast

Our home base. Serving vessels at Boatworks (Coomera), Gold Coast City Marina (GCCM) (Biggera Waters), and throughout the SE Queensland marine corridor. Available with minimal notice for vessels in this precinct.

Brisbane River

Serving vessels at Rivergate Marina & Shipyard (Murarrie) and throughout the Brisbane River commercial marine precinct — one of Australia's most active hubs for commercial vessel refit and compliance work.

Sydney

Serving vessels at CYCA, d'Albora Marinas, Blackwattle Bay, and commercial facilities throughout the Port of Sydney. Same-day flights from SE Queensland make Sydney straightforward to reach for onboard work.

Melbourne

Serving vessels at Williamstown marine precinct, Port Melbourne, and facilities throughout Port Phillip Bay. Available for onboard audits, DPA visits, and gap analysis at Melbourne-based or visiting vessels.

Whitsundays & Mackay

Serving vessels at Coral Sea Marina (Airlie Beach), Abell Point Marina, and Hamilton Island Marina — a popular base and transit stop for commercially operated superyachts in Australian waters.

Townsville & Cairns

Serving vessels at Port of Townsville, Cairns Marine, and Tropical Reef Shipyard (Cairns). Key hubs for commercial vessels in North Queensland and the gateway for vessels transiting to and from the Torres Strait.

Darwin & North

Serving vessels at Darwin Waterfront, Cullen Bay Marina, and Berrimah Marine — the northern gateway for vessels moving between Australian waters and Southeast Asia, Indonesia, and the broader Indo-Pacific.

Remote & at anchorage

Not all compliance work requires a marina. For vessels at anchorage, on passage, or at offshore facilities, we offer full remote desktop audit support — SMS document review, gap analysis, and DPA coverage — available anywhere with a reliable connection.
