North Marine is contracted to install a cyclone-rated, 360° boat swing mooring at Port Kennedy, Thursday Island in the Torres Strait for the state-Government owned shipping company, Sea Swift.

Sea Swift is Northern Australia’s largest shipping company and is owned by the State Government, Queensland Investment Corporation (QIC).

Scope of Work

Northern Australia’s largest shipping company, Sea Swift, requires cyclone moorings rated to hold cargo vessels up to 500-ton in weight to be installed at Port Kennedy, Thursday Island in the Torres Strait.

North Marine commercial divers install 360-degree swing moorings, each consisting of a 54mm stud-link chain running out to three Stingray anchors.

Our experienced dive personnel and project managers are adept at operating in remote locations. North Marine currently installs and maintains all vessel moorings for the state Government-owned corporation, throughout Queensland.

The remote location demands environmental, logistical and stakeholder considerations.

Extensive planning includes coordinating local contractors, approvals and consultation with naval architects and the applicable Authorities.
