News from Dongara Marine – boatbuilding projects, new vessels and refits from our Geraldton shipyard in Western Australia
Over the past few posts, we’ve shared what went into this custom patrol vessel. Now, a thank you to the people who brought it together.To our Dongara Marine team: thank you for your skill, care and hard work throughout the build. Equinox reflects your craftsmanship and the pride you take in your work.We’re proud to share the finished vessel — and proud of the team behind it.
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗹A custom patrol vessel takes shape through hundreds of interconnected details.On PV Equinox, these range from fitted deck lockers and fabricated railings to cabin joinery, equipment access, solar power, twin anchoring arrangement, and a purpose-built fisheries pot-handling arrangement.Working with DPIRD, Southerly Designs, and specialist subcontractors and suppliers, Dongara Marine brought those details together into a completed offshore patrol vessel.Equinox demonstrates the breadth of our Geraldton team’s construction, fit-out, and integration capabilities.#DongaraMarine #BoatBuilding #CustomVessels #AustralianManufacturing #CommercialBoats

𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗻𝗼𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻Crew comfort starts well beyond the accommodation.PV Equinox combines its hullform and twin keels with a VEEM VG52SD gyrostabiliser and Humphree active interceptors to manage vessel motion.Resilient machinery mounts and flexible driveline connections also form part of its noise and vibration control approach.Integrating these features required careful coordination of machinery, structure and onboard systems – particularly around the gyro and adjacent stern-ramp arrangement.#dongaramarine #boatbuilding #CustomVessels #MarineEngineering #CrewComfort #gyrostabiliser #seakeeping #Quiet

Twin Zenith Engineering (@zenith_engineering1945) generators provide electrical redundancy, with either unit capable of supplying the vessel independently.Dongara Marine integrated the machinery, exhausts, and pipework – working with Pages Electrical Services for electrical – to meet challenging installation constraints while also providing access for inspection and maintenance.The installation brings together propulsion performance and the practical requirements of operating a vessel on extended patrols.#DongaraMarine #BoatBuilding #CommercialVessels #MarineEngineering #marinepropulsion Seapower Australia Pty Ltd
