In March 2025, North Marine was contracted by Ports North to relocate two pilot boats between Cairns and Weipa, ensuring continued operational efficiency in the region.

Scope of Work

The project involved delivering Wathan to Weipa via Thursday Island and returning Windah to Cairns. Careful planning ensured smooth coordination of fuel logistics, berth arrangements, and weather considerations. Upon arrival, the crew refueled and topped up freshwater before departing for the return journey.

With efficient execution and clear communication, North Marine completed the relocations safely and on schedule, reinforcing its reputation for reliable marine transport solutions.
