At Silverstar Marine (SSM), we offer a fully integrated design and construction service that streamlines design, specification development, project oversight and construction delivery for ship building projects in Perth and Australia.

We’ve worked with shipyards and partners across the globe, so we can adapt our services to ensure that your vessel meets the necessary operational and regulatory requirements.

Perth Based Ship Building: What We Offer

Our design and construction services are ideal for clients seeking a turnkey solution. The process is tailored to each individual project, considering performance, lifecycle costs and readiness from the outset.

We offer:

  • Concept Design and Feasibility:

    Before we finalise design briefs, we work with clients to define their performance, capacity and regulatory needs. Our team considers speed, range, fuel efficiency and other factors to ensure the brief is functional and suited to your project.

  • Design Development and Optimisation

    Using internal and subcontracted resources, we develop robust and achievable designs. Our team will refine structural layouts, systems integration and outfit arrangements to ensure the vessel meets your operational and budgetary targets.

  • Specification and Contract Documentation:

    We produce detailed specifications and technical documentation that guide the construction of your vessel. They set benchmarks for efficient procurement, compliance and delivery, helping reduce risks and delays later in the timeline.

  • Construction Management and Build Oversight:

    Whether we construct the vessel locally at our facilities in Henderson or internationally with one of our partner yards, the SSM team will provide full management of the build process. This includes oversight of timelines, materials and classification requirements.

  • Testing, Commissioning and Handover:

    Upon completion, we will help you ensure that the final product performs as promised. Our team will carry out ocean trials and safety verifications and look over supporting documentation, warranties and training.

    We have been able to create partnerships throughout Australia and the world by providing honest and reliable services. We pride ourselves on:
    . Being the singular point of accountability from design through to delivery

    . Making design decisions with real-world build experience

    . Providing early visibility on costs, scheduling and technical constraints

    . Tailoring solutions that balance performance with practicality

    . Offering end-to-end quality assurance and compliance tracking
