NORSTA Maritime (NORSTA) is a collaboration between our consortium (Norship, Tropical Reef Shipyard​, Nova Systems​ and SECORA) and the Commonwealth Government in support of an all-Australian consortium (Norship Marine, Tropical Reef Shipyard, Nova Systems and SECORA Australasia) and the Department of Defence in support of Plan Gallileo.Our focus is on managing and coordinating suppliers and local workforce to deliver a multi-year maritime sustainment and maintenance support program on behalf of the Royal Australian Navy.To support this work, NORSTA is working with the local community to source and build local industry capability.We need a strong and growing local industry to support the maintenance of visiting Naval ships.A local workforce with the right skills is required to support the servicing of modern classes of ships and growing fleet size with cutting-edge technology.Our advanced maritime sustainment planning will coordinate fleet maintenance at scale across Far North Queensland, including Northern Australia and adjacent waters.We will be working with local suppliers to schedule major and minor works for many vessels through each year of the program.
