Who we are
Who we are
Norwest Marine Operations Pty Ltd is a marine freight, logistics and charter services provider based in Darwin. We carry general and refrigerated cargo, heavy plant, construction materials, dangerous goods and bulk fuels in support of northern Australia's remote communities and its critical infrastructure across resources, defence and energy.
Built specifically for the challenges of remote northern Australia. We take on the routes and freight that require real local knowledge and operational commitment.
We service the industries that keep northern Australia running: offshore oil and gas, mining, energy, defence, and the remote communities in between. We know the conditions, and we bring the practical knowledge that keeps cargo moving.
