Tasmania Marine Industry

Tasmania’s reputation as a provider of maritime industry excellence has been a constant part of the island state’s 200-year history of white settlement. Being an island necessitated the development of a maritime industry from those first days of settlement and this industry has grown ever since. Generations of superior ship builders have laid a firm foundation for the current era in which Tasmania leads the world with many modern maritime innovations.

To maintain Tasmania’s competitiveness there has been massive investment in new, state-of-the-art production facilities and major technological advances in plant and equipment.

A feature of the Tasmanian maritime industry is a significant increase in the sophistication of the products supplied to world markets. Many of the leading-edge products and services are featured in this Company and Product Guide.

The Tasmania Maritime Network incorporates the highly regarded marine sub-committee of the Manufacturing Industry Council. The Industry Councils were established by the Tasmanian Government as an interface between government and industry.
