Jetwave Marine

What Jetwave Marine does

Jetwave Marine is a privately held, family-owned West Australian marine services contractor founded in 2008, headquartered in South Fremantle with regional operations across eight Western Australian ports (Fremantle, Exmouth, Onslow, Dampier, Port Hedland, Point Samson, Broome) and Darwin in the Northern Territory. The company operates an owned fleet of more than 25 specialised vessels spanning offshore utility vessels, tugs, multicats, dive support vessels, lines vessels, workboats and punts, supported by quayside laydown facilities, crane trucks, warehousing and lifting/rigging equipment.

Its service portfolio is organised into three integrated divisions: Subsea Services (commercial diving, ROV, UWILD, cathodic protection, subsea welding and cutting, IMS inspections, metrology, marine salvage), Port Services (C-class towage, line handling, personnel/cargo transfers, oil spill response, commercial diving), and Quayside Support (laydown, freight handling, crane hire, berthage, secure storage). Call-out dive spreads and purpose-built DSVs are positioned in each major WA port for rapid response. Operations are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 by Bureau Veritas, and the company has been carbon-neutral certified since 2017.

Jetwave Marine generates revenue on a project- and contract-based B2B model, pricing per engagement with no publicly disclosed rate cards. It targets enterprise clients across four primary verticals — oil & gas, shipping, resources (mining), and construction — reaching customers through direct enterprise field sales led by a commercial manager. Service delivery is anchored in 24/7/365 availability and rapid-response capability along the Pilbara and Kimberley coastlines, with the company's value proposition resting on fleet scale, geographic distribution, integrated HSEQ compliance and established relationships with WA resource-sector operators.
