Australian Maritime Safety Authority new emergency response towage capability, REEF KEEPER launched in Cairns earlier this month.

Operated by Smit Lamnalco Australia & PNG, REEF KEEPER is an enhanced capability that is faster and more powerful than the previous towage vessel, CORAL KNIGHT.

Our Executive Director – Response, Mark Morrow, and Manager of our Asset Management and Preparedness team, Michael Wytcherley, recently met with David Fethers, Evan Milne, Jordan Bennett, and David McDonough from Smit Lamnalco Australia & PNG to see off Reef Keeper prior to its first rotation earlier this month.

We protect some of Australia’s most precious marine environments through this emergency response capability.
