25.01.2022 Svitzer Australia operates in 28 ports nationally and across the country, our crew and tug capability are showcased by the diversity of vessels we support. We wanted to take this opportunity to share some beautiful and captivating imagery, shot by our team, customers and industry partners. #svitzerau #svitzeraustralia Melbourne, VIC Container ship.

23.01.2022 Today we celebrate World Maritime Day and recognise the importance of Sustainable Shipping for a Sustainable Planet. Earlier this year we made a commitment to the environment by implementing Svitzer Australia’s Emissions Reduction Strategy. Six months into the program we have recorded positive progress including; approval for two 100kW solar photovoltaic (PV) power projects, recent fuel consumption results have been equal to or better than the target 5% reduction on 2019 leve...ls, and Port Tracker has now been fully implemented in nine major ports. Although there is always further progress to be made in this space, as part of the maritime community we strive to grow and innovate for the future.

23.01.2022 In April, Svitzer crews and tugs assisted ex-HMAS Success on her final journey from Port Pirie to Whyalla, South Australia for final deconstruction, scrapping and recycling (DSR), all of which will be carried out locally. Commissioned in 1986, HMAS Success was recognised as the Royal Australian Navy’s longest serving ship, and one of the largest for over 30 years. Svitzer is proud to have assisted HMAS Success during her service into various ports around Australia, and follow...ing decommissioning, to her final destination. Pictured Tug Wonga towing ex-HMAS Success in the Spencer Gulf, South Australia. A big thank you to the Svitzer crews involved in the successful tow and photo credit to Tug Master Daniel Payne for capturing this fantastic shot. #teamsvitzer #southaustralia #spencergulf #svitzerau #instashipping #svitzer #maritime

20.01.2022 With over 20 planned dockings scheduled across our Australian ports, 2020 was set to be a busy year even before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Led by Regional Manager Dockings and Projects Warren Angland, he says This is only possible due to the commitment of our docking superintendents and engineers, and the strong relationships we hold with our shipyards and key suppliers enabling us to collectively respond quickly to challenges and the changing environment, he says.

20.01.2022 One of our Queensland based tugs Clontarf was on hand to assist MOL Tokyo’s bulk carrier Zuiyo for her inaugural visit to the Port of Brisbane Pty Ltd. MOL and Svitzer has a longstanding relationship Australia-wide that spans several decades. As MOL’s preferred and trusted provider for towage services - Svitzer provides, on average, nine tug jobs per day for MOL vessels in Australian ports. This amazing and dramatically lit shot was captured by MD Photography. Thanks to the Port of Brisbane team for sharing #svitzerau

18.01.2022 Today marks World Mental Health Day a way to shine a light on this extremely important issue, during a stretch of months that have changed the world forever. Our number one priority is the mental health, wellbeing and safety of our team, and we strive to support each other. From a corporate standpoint, we offer a range of services to support our onshore and offshore colleagues. Some of the more pertinent initiatives include; counselling services for all employees and their... families, a series of webinars focusing on mental health via a trusted partner, health insurance discounts, flexible working options to improve work-life balance and a Soft Tissue Early Intervention Program. We want to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Svitzer Australia team and highlight how appreciative we are of the hard work and dedication our team showcases on daily basis. The challenge of seeking success where possible and progressing with positivity has been exceptional, especially during this turbulent time. Thank you. #WorldMentalHealthDay #YouAreNotAlone #svitzerau

16.01.2022 A rare sight for Newcastle, Höegh Tracer, a RoRo or roll on roll off vessel for transporting machinery and vehicles made her maiden call to the Port of Newcastle last week. Svitzer crew and vessels from both our tug and lines operations in Newcastle safely and successfully assisted the 200 metre vessel into berth - great job! We look forward to supporting the Port of Newcastle in their plan to diversify trade through the Hunter region....

16.01.2022 Looking to the Northern Territory, we see some spectacular weather that our Svitzer Australia crew captured aboard tug Wyong! When approaching this movement, the Wyong crew teamed up with tug Mataranka to assist 179m long bulk carrier ‘Carme’ to depart Darwin Port. As our team works so hard to provide the best possible service to our customers, it is great to see this perspective from the wheelhouse it’s a little like a thank you from nature. #svitzerau #darwin

15.01.2022 On a clear dry season morning Svitzer tugs attend the 288m LNG carrier ESSHU MARU inbound to Darwin Harbour, Northern Territory. Requiring four tugs (pictured) Svitzer Macquarie, Svitzer Stockton and and Mataranka and Svitzer Palmerston (out of view) ESSHU MARU is one of many LNG carriers that Svitzer assists in the support hub for the oil and gas fields off northern Australia. In Darwin, our Svitzer team and fleet of six tugs are kept busy supporting a diverse range of vessels calling the port including container vessels, general cargo vessels and bulk tankers. Thanks to Matt Wheeler, Svitzer’s Port Manager in Darwin for the great snap. #svitzerau #svitzer #teamsvitzer #svitzeraustralia #saferports #efficientports #tugboats #instashipping #tugboat #tuglife #maritime #darwin #LNG #energy #australia

14.01.2022 Svitzer Australia tugs and crews bid a spectacular farewell to the Austal Australia new build 118 metre long, high-speed trimaran ferry, Fred Olsen Express Gran Canaria-Tenerife Bajamar Express as she departed Western Australia for her new berth in the Canary Islands. Captured beautifully here with the West Australian coastline as backdrop, Svitzer Albatross and Svitzer Harrier provide a water salute using the vessels' firefighting (or Fi-Fi) system. Svitzer tugs, lines and ...launches services are proud to have worked closely with Austal providing towage and seaside support throughout the build, launch and commissioning phase of this impressive vessel. Congratulations to the Austal Australia team on the delivery of Bajamar Express and we look forward to continuing to provide you support. And fair winds and following seas for the Bajamar Express! #svitzer #svitzeraustralia #henderson #perth #svitzerau #svitzerharrier #shipping #maritime #towage #tugboat #westernaustralia #tugboats #instashipping #westernaustralia #austal #svitzeralbatross

13.01.2022 On International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) Day of the Seafarer, we would like to recognise everyone working on-board vessels, maintaining the flow of vital goods, during this period and beyond. The role of seafarers to keep world trade moving is essential to responding to, and eventually overcoming, the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you to our crews in Papua New Guinea and Australia for your ongoing contribution to the industry and dedication to your roles. ... We hope you enjoy this short clip of some of our crew in Australia, who share what they enjoy most about their job as well as some the challenges they have faced during the pandemic. #seafarersarekeyworkers

05.01.2022 We were thrilled to support Science Week last week at Ridge View Secondary College in Western Australia as part of our partnership, the Oceans Project. This year's theme for Science Week, Deep Blue: innovations for the future of our oceans, tied in perfectly with the Oceans Project - a partnership with Ridge View Secondary College and Coastal Lakes College and OSM Maritime Group in Western Australia to promote local pathways, build awareness of the maritime industry and the broader global issues of ocean sustainability. #scienceweek #deepblue #maritimejobs #svitzerau #teamsvitzer #education #instashipping

05.01.2022 This spectacular shot was taken by our photographic advocates @flotsamandjetsam6162 over in Fremantle, WA.

In this shot, our tug Svitzer Redhead assists Happy Sky as she transports a couple of massive yachts. You can even spot the picturesque South Mole Lighthouse. #svitzerau
