Ship Construction

FORGACS Shipyard Tomago – formerly known as Carrington Slipways – is making waves not only when it launches a new vessel but also as one of Australia’s leading ship building facilities.

From the method engineering process through to laying the keel and on to launching, FORGACS are capable of constructing both steel and aluminium hull vessels such as tugs, passenger craft and naval ships amongst others. Most of these are able to be built totally undercover to achieve superior quality.

Over its history, the Shipyard has proudly launched the Seafaris, Webb’s Creek Ferry, David Allan, the Searoad Tamar, the Aurora Australia, the John Cadman, the Blackburn Cove, the HMAS Tobruk and many more.

Seafaris took out the top prize in its class at the prestigious 2007 World Superyacht Awards in Venice (see below)
