Port of Gladstone Marine Logistics and Line Boat Operator

About the Business

An outstanding opportunity to acquire an approved, fully managed marine logistics operator in one of Australia's largest export ports.

Established in 2012 by an experienced Coxswain/Master, RC Marine runs its own fleet across Gladstone Harbour and offshore - crew transfers, stores and spares to ships, tugs and LNG facilities, dive support, barge transport and biosecurity waste removal.

Ticketed skippers, crew and documented systems run the day-to-day. The owner is retiring, leaving vessels, approvals and client relationships in place.

Business Highlights
5% year-on-year revenue growth over 3 years
Vessels, barge, plant & equipment included: $2,840,000
8 vessels in survey; Chaco and Colando OVID approved
Preferred supplier to Toll Marine Logistics, Smit Lamnalco and Santos
Bechtel audited; MEP, MSP and SMS frameworks in place
24/7 operation with thousands of transfers and tie-ups completed
Under full management - not owner-dependent

Operational Strength
Mature and professionally run - not a start-up or turnaround:
Ticketed skippers and crew
Owned fleet with survey, approvals and maintenance history
Frameworks aligned to LNG and shipping client audit standards
24/7 on-call response and EFTPOS onboard

A buyer can buy a vessel tomorrow, but not the fourteen years of surveys, OVID approvals, Bechtel audits and preferred supplier listings. That approval chain transfers with the business.

Strategic Appeal
Marine and port operators seeking an approved Gladstone footprint
Industrial, civil or logistics groups adding marine capability
Investors seeking asset-backed cash flow in critical infrastructure
Owner-operators wanting leadership continuity

Gladstone is Queensland's largest multi-commodity port. Every vessel needs lines run, crew changed and stores delivered - volumes move with the cycle; the requirement does not.

Price: $2,950,000
