Partnership Opportunities with Austal, The Australian Shipbuilder.

With a vision to build high quality commercial vessels for the international market, Austal commenced operations in Perth, Western Australia in 1988. Today, Austal is a global shipbuilder and defence prime contractor. A recognised world leader in the design and construction of customised commercial and defence vessels, Austal proudly lists many of the world’s leading ferry operators, navies and defence forces as valued clients.

Market Development Manager (Australian Defence )Tim Speer will discuss the supply opportunities for local businesses on the current Pacific Patrol Boat Replacement (PPB-R) project and the upcoming Offshore Patrol Vessel (SEA1180) project for the Federal Government.

The Department of Defence is trying to ensure its soon-to-be-launched $230 million Centre for Defence Industry Capability doesn’t make waves for WA’s growing defence supply chain.

The key plank of the Government’s $1.6 billion of industry initiatives that stemmed from the Defence White Paper in February, the CDIC will be tasked with making it easier for businesses to compete for and win defence industry business, something Austal is keen to be a part of.
