Austal

Austal manufactures naval vessels for commercial and defence customers using advanced techniques, including modular shipbuilding and additive manufacturing.

Austal designs, constructs, and supports commercial vessels featuring monohull, catamaran, and trimaran hulls for fleet sustainment and efficiency.

Austal provides naval vessels with proven performance, next-generation innovation, and mission-critical reliability to meet evolving defence missions.

Austal has delivered defence and commercial vessels for over three decades, including contracts for the United States Defense Forces since 2004.

Building on 38 years of sovereign shipbuilding and as the Landing Craft Medium (LCM) and Landing Craft Heavy (LCH) programs commence as part of the Australian Army’s littoral manoeuvre capability, Austal will make its debut at the Land Forces International Land Defence Exposition for the first time.

Austal plans to hire 500 workers over 12 months to support Landing Craft shipbuilding programs for Australia’s Defence Force.

The Australian and Western Australian Governments confirmed the Henderson Defence Precinct site, marking progress toward a sovereign naval shipbuilding hub in Western Australia.

Austal has successfully delivered a complete MARINELINK-Prime upgrade package, utilising the company’s proprietary Integrated Monitoring, Alarm & Control System platform and in-house engineering capabilities, on the passenger ferry Prony Express in New Caledonia.

Austal operates multiple sites in Australia, offering design, manufacturing, and sustainment services for defence and commercial customers in the Asia Pacific region.

With production sites in Australia, the United States of America, the Philippines, and Vietnam, Austal supports global defence and commercial maritime markets.

Austal delivers naval and commercial vessels, sustainment services, and fleet optimisation for defence and commercial customers across 59 countries. The company operates in Australia, the United States of America, Vietnam, and the Philippines.

Austal targets a 50% reduction in embodied emissions by 2030 and net zero by 2050, aligning with science-based targets. The company supports local communities where it operates and aims to create value beyond shipbuilding.
