Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox Australian place The Australian Marine Complex (AMC) is a marine industry precinct located at Henderson, Western Australia, 23km south of the Perth CBD. It is located on Cockburn Sound.[1]

Overview

The complex was established in 2003 when the Common User Facility, owned by the Western Australian Government, commenced operations.[2] It is home to approximately 150 businesses in five designated zones.[1] The facility is operated by Western Australian's state government owned property developer DevelopmentWA and AMC Management (WA) Pty Ltd.[3]

The complex is divided into shipbuilding, technology, support industry, fabrication and recreational boating precincts.[1]

The recreational boating precinct, at the northern end of the complex, consists of the Jervoise Bay boat harbour. The fabrication precinct is located at the southern end of the complex, while the shipbuilding precinct is located along the coast between the two. The technology and support precincts are located inland, to the east.[1] The shipbuilding precinct serves as a maintenance facility for the Royal Australian Navy's Collins-class submarines and Anzac-class frigates, being located across Cockburn Sound from Шаблон:HMAS on Garden Island.[4]

Major tenants of the facility include Austal, BAE Systems Australia and Civmec.[2]

In 2010, the A$60 million floating dock Yargan commenced operations at the Australian Marine Complex, Yargan being the Noongar word for tortoise. The dock is capable of lifting up to 12,000 tonnes from the water and to transfer up to 3500 tonnes from water to land. The dock's initially purpose was to serve as a maintenance facility for the Collins-class submarines.[5]

In March 2022, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced a A$4.3 billion investment to establish a large vessel dry dock at the Australian Marine Complex in Henderson. Construction of the facility is scheduled to start in 2023 and to be completed by 2030.[6][7]

In 2022, Austal is scheduled to deliver a further five Guardian-class patrol boats and four Cape-class patrol boats, the later for the Royal Australian Navy.
