Techport Australia

Australia’s premier naval industry hub

Techport Australia – Australia’s premier naval industry hub is being developed at Osborne, South Australia.  

South Australia is investing over $300 million in state-owned infrastructure at the hub to support ASC to deliver the Royal Australian Navy’s next generation $8 billion Air Warfare Destroyers (AWD) and attract other shipbuilding and repair opportunities.

Techport Australia will feature:

  • common user shipbuilding facilities comprising a massive ship lift (Australia’s largest), transfer system and wharf
  • a 35+ hectare supplier precinct for sub-contractors to establish operations on site and develop strong and efficient supply chains, and
  • a Commercial and Education precinct, including a Maritime Skills Centre to provide trade and technical skills for the hub’s users, and the future home of the high tech AWD Systems Centre, which brings together all of the engineering disciplines necessary to design, build and deliver the AWDs.
