The company uses modern shipbuilding and manufacturing techniques. New construction, repairs and maintenance are undertaken at our Australian shipyards in Williamstown (Victoria) and Henderson (WA). Both facilities also perform in-service support. Our Whangarei site in New Zealand has fabricated ANZAC superstructure and hull modules and is suitable for small vessel construction. Other support facilities are located in Darwin, Cairns, Brisbane and Sydney. Marine Division also has offices in Manila and Fiji.

Tenix backs its designs with the extensive experience of having designed, built and delivered more than 200 naval, paramilitary and specialist vessels, and has the full capability to design, construct, outfit, set-to-work, trial and support major surface combatants.

Tenix is prime contractor for the $A7B ANZAC Ship Project, involving the development and construction of 10 frigates, eight for the Royal Australian Navy and two for the Royal New Zealand Navy. It is the largest and arguably most successful defence contract ever awarded in Australia. Tenix's management of the contract has earned it international recognition and a number of prestigious engineering and quality awards.

Other major defence projects include the eight purpose built search and rescue vessels contract for the Philippines government, engineered for rapid response in the event of a maritime emergency. Tenix has been contracted by the Royal New Zealand Navy for the supply of one Multi-Role Vessel, two Offshore Patrol Vessels, and four Inshore Patrol Vessels, known as Project Protector.

Marine Division has particular skills in naval systems design and integration, bringing together sensor and communication systems and weapons from a variety of national suppliers, and integrating them into fully operational combat systems. Tenix has skills, knowledge and experience in systems engineering, design and development, installation, integration, test, operation and support of new generation mission systems.

Tenix can provide repair and refit services on an as required fee through to a complete turnkey maintenance and support service. These services are provided in Tenix’s own facilities or in conjunction with Tenix quality endorsed partners. Furthermore, Tenix offers innovative data management software solutions and a variety of support products and services that can be tailored to meet individual customer requirements. This can range from the provision of specific integrated logistic support (ILS) products through to the production of a complete ILS package.
