Business Relationships
Local. National. International.
Ambush Workboats began by supporting local operations in Tasmania and has grown to work with clients across Australia and internationally.
We’ve built strong, practical working relationships with key regulatory bodies, including Marine and Safety Tasmania (MAST), the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service, the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), and local government agencies.
These relationships are based on consistent delivery, clear communication, and a shared commitment to safety and compliance.
We also contribute to industry development, working with Seafood and Maritime Training to support workforce skills, and participating in the AMSA Safety Committee to stay closely aligned with national marine safety standards.
At every level, our approach is straightforward, we work collaboratively, operate to a high standard, and maintain the trust of the organisations and clients we work with.
