A proud day for Echo Marine Group and Western Australian manufacturing.

On June 24th, we were honoured to welcome Premier Roger Cook, Minister for Transport Rita Saffioti MLA , Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation Manufacturing Amber-Jade Sanderson, David Scaife MLA , representatives from the Public Transport Authority, and members of the Echo Marine Group team to celebrate the official keel laying of the first of five battery-electric ferries.

This milestone marks the commencement of construction of what will become Australia's first fully electric public transport ferry fleet, which will operate on Perth's iconic Swan River.

A special highlight of the ceremony was seeing our first-year apprentice fabricator, Sabastian Dunlop, affix the ceremonial keel laying plaque — a fitting reminder that this project is not only about delivering innovative, sustainable transport, but also about investing in the next generation of Western Australian shipbuilders.

We are proud to be designing and building these vessels locally at our Henderson shipyard, creating skilled jobs, supporting local suppliers, and contributing to Western Australia's growing advanced manufacturing capability.

Thank you to the Western Australian Government, the Public Transport Authority, suppliers, and our dedicated workforce for helping reach this important milestone. We look forward to bringing Australia's first fully electric public transport ferry fleet to life.

Proud to support the future of sustainable public transport in Western Australia

Echo Marine Group Pty Ltd is honoured to have been selected by the Western Australian State Government to design and build five new battery-electric public transport ferries, the first electric fleet to operate in Australia for Perth’s iconic Swan River.

This important project highlights the capability of Western Australia’s world-class shipbuilding industry and the value of investing in local industry, local jobs, and apprenticeships. As a 100% West Australian family-owned and operated company, we are proud to contribute vessels that will serve the community for decades to come.

Designed in partnership with One2three Naval Architects and built at our Henderson facility in the Australian Marine Complex, the ferries will feature advanced battery-electric propulsion—delivering quiet, clean, and efficient operations, setting a new benchmark for sustainable ferry transport in WA.

We look forward to working closely with the WA State Government, Public Transport Authority, and our industry partners to deliver a high-quality outcome that supports innovation, skilled local employment, and environmentally responsible transport for all Western Australians.
