Government & Defence

MMA owns and operates a fleet of 18 high-specification offshore vessels capable of supporting a range of government and defence applications.

As an Australian company with a strong track record of marine operations offshore Australia, as well as a large pool of Australian seafarers, MMA is in a strong position to support government and defence scopes in Australia in particular. Our fleet of vessels capable of supporting government and defence scopes includes:

• PSVs, for the transportation of equipment and cargo
• MPSVs, for salvage operations, inspection and maintenance work or light construction support
• Workboats, for accommodation and personnel transfer in remote areas
• AHT and AHTS vessels, for towage of assets, personnel transportation and moderate cargo transportation

Leaning on our extensive experience successfully managing our own fleet of vessels, MMA is also able to provide operational and technical vessel management services to government and defence organisations.

This includes operational management (including scheduling and day-to-day running of the vessel) and technical management (planned and unplanned maintenance). In addition, we are also able to provide crewing and training services, thanks to our large pool of Australian seafarers, and our comprehensive crew management and training systems. Our services include:

• Vessel operational management
• Vessel technical management (repair and maintenance)
• Crewing
