Cairns Service Centre
Sustainment facility
Our Cairns service centre has an impressive refit capability, complete with a 1,200 tonne rail slipway (with capacity for vessels of 80 metre LOA and 22 metre beam). The slipway also has over 360 metres of serviced wharf space.
With all-weather, enclosed maintenance halls and a team of highly skilled and experienced tradespeople, this is the shipyard of choice for private, commercial and naval vessel operators in Northern Australia.
In 2019 the service centre commissioned the Pacific’s largest mobile boat hoist. Capable of moving 1,120 tonnes, the seven-story-high mobile boat hoist can lift vessels straight out of the water from the Port of Cairns, for transfer to our hard stand or maintenance halls.
