Austal completed the acquisition of BSE Maritime Solutions for $26m.

Austal, an emerging defense prime contractor, completed the acquisition of BSE Maritime Solutions, a company that operates shipyards in Australia, for $26m. “Austal’s expanded dockyard and ship-lift facilities in Cairns, including the Pacific’s largest mobile boat hoist, significantly enhances our in-service support capabilities for the growing number of Austal-designed and constructed Cape-class and Guardian-class Patrol Boats operating in the region and positions the company well to pursue additional defence support contracts in the future,” Patrick Gregg, Austal COO.
