    Ribcraft Australia has partnered with Edencraft International to begin local manufacturing of its high-performance Rigid Hull Inflatable Boats (RHIBs) in Geelong, Victoria

    "The partnership with Edencraft not only allows us to build world-class rigid inflatable boats here in Australia but also strengthens our nation’s sovereign maritime capabilities. Witnessing these boats being built locally, with the same attention to detail that Ribcraft is renowned for globally, is both inspiring and exciting," said the Managing Director of Ribcraft Australia, Adelina Florescu.

    The Edencraft facility in Moolap, Geelong, Victoria, will serve as the hub for producing custom-built Ribcraft RHIBs that meet Australian Maritime Safety Authority National Standards for Commercial Vessels. The local manufacturing capability will support not only Australian needs but also exports to the wider region.

    "Under the ‘Australian Made’ banner, we are driving innovation and upholding the highest standards of performance and reliability for defence, law enforcement, and commercial operations.”

    Through the partnership, Ribcraft Australia and Edencraft will also work on the development of uncrewed RHIBs as well as next-generation propulsion systems.

    Join senior leaders from the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, Australian Government, and Aerospace Industries Association for an AUKUS webinar covering recent defense trade reforms that seek to bolster the trilateral partnership and better facilitate defense trade between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

    What is the AUKUS Exemption: This webinar follows a key interim final rule published by the Department of State known as the ‘AUKUS Exemption,’ or the ‘§ 126.7 exemption’, designed to facilitate billions of dollars in secure, license-free defense trade. Under this exemption, the vast majority of commercial defense trade for both AUKUS and non-AUKUS programs is eligible for transfer between AUS-UK-US.

    Who Should Attend: This is a unique opportunity for companies, compliance professionals, and country managers involved in the AUKUS landscape to hear directly from the leaders involved in shaping the defense trade between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

    Speakers:

    • Chris Deeble, Australian Deputy Secretary
      Capability Acquisition and Sustainment Group, Australia Department of Defense
    • Michael Vaccaro, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Defense Trade Controls
      U.S. Department of State
    • Philip Johnson, Chief of Staff, Export Administration
      Bureau of Industry and Security, Department of Commerce
    • Dak Hardwick, Vice President, International Affairs
      Aerospace Industries Association

    Babcock Australasia has opened a new International Engineering and Technology Hub in Abbotsford.

    It will support a range of domestic and international programs, including the Type 31 Frigate program in the United Kingdom and Babcock's high frequency communication contracts with Australia and New Zealand.

    “This leading facility will enable the delivery of complex and bespoke technical solutions to both the Australian Defence Force and our allies around the world, particularly around AUKUS Pillar 2, which relies on the combined industrial might of the trilateral partners to deliver interoperability and advanced capabilities," said Babcock Australasia CEO Andrew Cridland.

    Worth $3.5 million, the facility was partially funded by the Victorian Government and is expected to create around 100 jobs.

    “With the help of Victorian Government grant funding, we have been able to create a cutting-edge workspace where we can engage with the Commonwealth, SMEs, academia, and research organisations such as the CSIRO and Defence Science and Technology Group across a wide range of projects and at all classification levels. This will lead to greater uplift across the board from project outcomes to skills and capability development, to job creation," said Babcock International Group Chief Engineering and Technology Officer, Brad Yelland.
