In this time of continued global attention on the iconic Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and its susceptibility to a changing climate, we remain committed to working on projects and contributing to its long-term management.

The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is one of the world’s most remarkable natural treasures. But we also know the Reef is now facing significant challenges linked to climate change, and everyone needs to do their part to protect and build the resilience of the Reef for the benefit of future generations.
We realise that undertaking work in and adjacent to the Reef is a great privilege and has been a massive part of our history as a company. In this short video, we invite you to look at some of our projects and capabilities relevant to the GBR.
We are very proud to work on these and other exciting projects contributing to the Reef's long-term conservation and management. It motivates our people to work harder to achieve outcomes for our clients and stretch our capability to solve difficult and complex problems. Most importantly, we hope these and other projects will help build our Reef's resilience for the future.

As shipping transitions to low‑carbon fuels, safety has become the defining challenge. This interview by RINA's The Naval Architect, explores how alternative fuels such as methanol, ammonia, hydrogen and LNG introduce new risks, and how smart vessel design, layered protection and crew competence are essential to delivering decarbonisation without compromising safety.
