AUTUMN NEWS

At the close of 2009 we continued to work closely with DOT WA in the application of the new NSCV code.

MMD provided expertise in the structural and engineering design of an 18m utility workboat which was recently delivered by SBF Shipbuilders in Henderson. Work is currently underway for the construction of a 22m sister ship.

Our team has provided extensive syncro lift technical docking calculations in the past. The most recent example of this was a 30m, 55t Bollard Pull tractor tug for Pearl Engineering.

The company launched into 2010 with several new and exciting projects:

15.5m workboatsFirstly, MMD is enthusiastic to announce two 15.5m workboats (pictured right) are currently under construction for Mackenzie Marine and Towage. This order totals six vessels to this design, the first four of which were delivered to Defence Maritime Services.

Expanding on the diversity of our scope of work, MMD is pleased to announce our involvement in two new land sculptures for Mandurah and Geraldton.

MMD has assisted in the operational upgrade of customs vessel ‘Triton’.
Western Australia’s expanding mining and oil and gas industry has increased demand for the expertise of naval architects. We are pleased to be involved in the upgrade of Tiwest Joint Venture’s South Mine Floating Plant at Coolaroo.

The Phase 1 Reverse Osmosis plant on Barrow Island has now been commissioned, which includes the MMD design pump pontoon and associated pipeline.

Finally, we conclude with an update on the ‘Everest of sailing’ (Volvo Open 70). The senior staff began work on managing the Volvo Open 70 rule. With start date set for October 2011 in Spain, this looks to be a thrilling event judging by the increasing team entries received to date.

With an increased workload MMD welcomed a new staff member in 2010. The company looks forward to continuing to diversify their expertise as the year progresses with future projects.
