Turn Key Imports

Importing a vessel from overseas can sometimes be a way of achieving more value for the money spent. Somewhat daunting as a prospect for those who have considered doing it without the experience or expertise, the temptation still exists especially with the strength of the Aussie dollar. Blue Ocean Marine has a proven track record in this field and offers a “turn key import” service…..more….

There are many things to consider when going down this path.
Firstly, are you importing with a view to reselling for a profit or do you simply wish to import a vessel for below Australian market value?
There are many pitfalls in this area for the uninitiated but also many rewards if the project is handled properly.

Things to consider include:

  1. The offer, sea trial and survey proces
  2. Delivering the vessel to the point of shipping
  3. Shipping and insurance
  4. Clearance and customs both in Australia and the port of origin
  5. Electrical conversions and compliance in Australia
  6. Registration, duties, GST and government compliance just to name a few.




Blue Ocean Marine works on a case by case basis with clients around Australia for the importation of vessels. Depending on the project and the level of involvement requested we can give you a fixed priced quotation for the service clearly outlining all the areas covered. Our service will save you big dollars by providing you with the know how, contacts and expertise to ensure that you don’t hate your new vessel by the time you can finally get to use it.

For those looking to do this as a profit making venture returns average between 15&20% with a turn around time of around 3 to 6 months.

For more detailed information and to organize a conference call with one of our team members please use the contact page and provide us with as much information as possible. We will then contact you without obligation to see whether or not we may be of assistance to you in this area.
