Strategic Marine
Strategic Marine Pty Ltd is a Western Australian-based shipbuilding company with facilities at Henderson in Western Australia, Vung Tau in Vietnam, Tuas in Singapore and Mazatlán in Mexico.
History
Strategic Marine had its origins in Geraldton Boat Builders Pty Ltd, a Western Australian-based aluminium shipbuilder. The company incorporated in 2001.
Since its incorporation, Strategic Marine has focussed on offshore crew boats and support vessels, as well as high-speed patrol boats for defence, police and coastguard use.
Operations
Henderson, Western Australia
Strategic Marine is based at the Australian Marine Complex located at Henderson, 23 km south of the Perth CBD.
Since 2001, the Henderson yard has produced over 100 patrol launches and seven crew-boats for a diverse range of clients.
The yard has recently undergone significant expansion, having taken on a number of senior employees with additional technical skills, particularly in steel shipbuilding. These skills will be employed to fit out the 99m floating dry dock on order from the Australian Marine Complex on delivery of its base pontoon from the company's Vietnam yard.
