Capability Statement

Transhipment Services Australia offers a unique array of marine services for the mining, oil and gas and construction industries.

Transhipment Services Australia (TSA) offers a unique array of marine services for the mining, oil and gas and construction industries. Having built an outstanding reputation for meeting the complex needs of clients in materials transhipment and specialised cargo transportation over many years, TSA can be regarded as one of Australia’s most accomplished tug and barge towage companies.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Operating an exclusive fleet of tugs and barges, with the capacity to expand the tug fleet to meet client needs on short notice, TSA offers the ability to plan, engineer and execute efficient, cost-effective and safe port-to-port and port-to-vessel transport and transfer scenarios. Materials and freight movement that are capable of being undertaken by the company range from coal, iron ore, mineral sands and bauxite, to heavy duty construction and earthmoving equipment.

While the company’s expertise in transport and transhipment has been the primary source of its reputation for excellence in the past, clients are now finding that the quality, value and commitment that TSA incorporates into that aspect of its business has been carried through in tug and towage work. This opens new

levels of potential for clients seeking to capitalise on TSA’s marine and engineering experience, and the TSA team can take on and simplify even the most challenging transport and/or transfer task.

Clients value TSA’s unwavering commitment to safety and being in the right place at the right time with the right equipment. The assurance that our vessels, our crews and our experience are all geared towards the successful completion of any task, and our guarantee of safety, cost-effectiveness and service, gives clients the confidence to entrust TSA with any towage, transport, transfer or transhipment project.

The key to success in any marine undertaking is in comprehensive planning and a thorough understanding of all the variables involved. TSA assigns an experienced team to every project, completing extensive preparatory work in order to make the job efficient and cost effective.

Aspects of the task that will be addressed include:

f Feasibility studies and recommendations including geographical and oceanographic conditions and facilities analysis

f Logistical analysis encompassing personnel, materials and equipment requirements

f Risk analysis and mitigation planning f Productivity scheduling f Cargo profiling f Design, engineering and fabrication of specialised cargo

handling systems (if required) f Integrated Safety Management System (SMS) development

The marine environment always carries a certain amount of risk, and demands a high level of planning and preparation to mitigate that risk. TSA has developed a comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) and aligned procedures that ensure adherence to health and safety, quality and environmental standards at all times.

Through the practical implementation of the SMS, TSA are very proud of a nil LTI record and potential clients are invited to inspect our HSEQ policies and procedures at any time.

HEALTH, SAFETY, ENVIRONMENT & QUALITY

PLANNING

Decades of experience technical expertise lie behind every TSA operation. Our crews, management and engineering personnel have undertaken projects across the globe, many in difficult and remote areas.

Where necessary the team enlists the assistance of partners in naval architecture and engineering, and can draw upon the

experience and technical capability of fabrication teams around Australia and the world.

In the field of transhipment, TSA’s experience is unrivalled, with millions of tonnes of ores and other materials safely transported and transferred over the decades of operation.

The company’s personnel register includes highly experienced and qualified Pilots, Loadmasters, Masters, Mates, Engineers and Deck Crew, and our Perth-based management team consists of people with extensive industry experience as well as appropriate marine qualifications. General Manager Guy Scahill is a Master Class 4 with over 15 years commercial marine experience around Australia and the world.

TSA’s commitment to service and fulfillment of clients’ expectations extends to investing our own time and expertise in the design and implementation of solutions for challenging towage, transhipment and transfer projects. The company is always willing to discuss the design, engineering and fabrication of unique transhipment loading facilities in any location, on a Build/Own/Operate (BOO) or Build/Own/Operate/Transfer (BOOT) basis.

We can undertake feasibility and analysis studies, canvassing different options and approaches, and work with clients to arrive at the most cost-effective and mutually beneficial

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

EQUIPMENT

Operating a significant fleet of its own, with access to tugs and other vessels on demand, means that TSA can take on any project in a timely and cost-effective manner.

The company owns and deploys three 70m Deck Cargo barges capable of carrying up to 3500 tonnes of cargo, whether that is mineral fines or heavy equipment.

The barges are generally towed by one of the company’s Workboat Tugs, 23m Reliance and 26m Radiance, with a bollard pull rating of 20 tonnes. If the project requires, the company can deploy other vessels with higher bollard pull ratings, crewed by TSA’s experienced personnel.

The fleet is usually stationed in the North West region of Western Australia, principally operating out of Wyndham but able to service an area from Dampier to Brisbane and beyond.
