Trust us to safely perform your mooring maintenance and installation
It is a requirement of MAST that your mooring be properly inspected out of the water at least once every 2 years.
We will completely remove your old mooring, where necessary, and replace it with a new one designed to MAST requirements and fit for your vessel.
If we are installing a new mooring it is important to understand your obligations. You can read the requirements and complete the application form for a new mooring on the MAST website.
Wear and tear as well as marine growth can reduce the structural condition significantly, causing moorings to deteriorate very quickly. They can also be moved off the allocated position by severe weather.
We will lift your mooring (up to 5 tonnes) out of the water and onto our flat deck to give it a full and proper inspection. This allows for identification and replacement of corroded and worn parts.
Moorings can be dragged across the bay. If this has happened we can re-locate the Mooring at the original location specified by MAST.
The North West Bay barge measures 11.5 metres in length, 4 metres in width with a draught of 0.5 metres. The barge is transportable on a low loader.
We are regularly called upon for geotech core drilling, sampling and testing work.

We are aware of the damage done by moorings to the sea bed and consciously do our best to minimise further disruption during our work.
MAST has developed a web-based mooring and facilities mapping system that is now available for public use. The map shows mooring positions and mooring permit numbers in the various bays and rivers where moorings have been allowed.
The system also shows MAST managed navigations aids as well as those owned and maintained by TasPorts and the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.
View the Mooring GISMAST requires every mooring permit holder to have their mooring lifted out of the water and inspected at least once every two years.
Yes. MAST requires mooring permit holders to retain maintenance records for their mooring, and may ask for proof that it has been maintained at any time.
Most mooring breakages come from neglect in the way the vessel is attached to the mooring. The rope can chafe over a sharp roller or anchor, or under the mooring buoy, and gradually cut through. Regular checks of the head rope help prevent this.
Our barge can lift a mooring of up to 5 tonnes out of the water and onto its flat deck, where we give it a full inspection and replace corroded or worn parts.
Yes. Severe weather can drag a mooring across the bay, and we can relocate it to the original position specified by MAST.
We service moorings in and around Hobart, Tasmania, including Kettering and North West Bay.
