Fiji one week, Taiwan the next.

Blackline Shipping’s staff is in demand all over the world for their expertise.

With our own naval architect in-house, we also have relationships with all of the major naval architects in Australia to make sure the big conceptual design decisions are made correctly.

Whether your project is located in Sydney or Dubai, Florida or France, Blackline Shipping provides the same level of expert advice to all our clients.

And our clients have included some of the region’s top businessmen: Westfield Holding’s Frank Lowy, and New Zealand billionaire Graeme Hart. Working on Lowy’s superyacht “Ilona” and Hart’s superyacht “Ulysses” required a commitment to excellence and top quality customer service, but we provide the same service to all our clients.

The demand is growing, according to Operations Manager Jason Norton.

“A lot of boats are being built in China and Taiwan these days because of the lower labour costs. So what often happens is the owner will contract us to fly there and check the systems and everything else when the boat comes out of the shed and goes into the water.

“It gives the owner peace of mind that their new boat is fully operational, while still benefiting from the lower costs available overseas.”

We have the capacity to:

- Evaluate and select a design team
- Advise on material selection and building systems
- Facilitate compliance with survey agency requirements
- Maintain quality assurance
- Provide operating & maintenance training
- Research alternatives for overall efficiencies, cost control & schedule
- Find crew
