Commercial Dive Services
Diving services are a specialised field of operations requiring a high level of technical skill, dynamic and adaptive capability, and broad range of capacity.
The provision of these services is undertaken with rigorous adherence to regulatory requirements. Security in port operations is a growing concern for ship and asset protection. The use of cutting-edge technology to permit in-water surveys and inspections is a capability that protects both the port environment and the ships and crew that use them. Military Services Australia through is worldwide network can deliver on all these activities.
Archaeological Services
In 2015 the US Department of Defence consolidated its various departments and efforts in recovering POWs and MIAs from past conflicts from countries around the world by forming the Defence POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA).
Our company has been a key partner of this agency providing logistical support to its missions throughout the Pacific including Papua New Guinea, Palau and the Solomon Islands. Our company has been contracted for a further 5 years to provide logistical support for annual DPAA recovery missions to the Solomon Islands.
The contractor's team was professional in their demeanour while interacting with the military team leadership and team members. The contractor was very responsive to the dynamic needs of the military teams in the field. In dealing with local officials and local nationals, the contractor maintained professional conduct and relationships with all parties.
