One more day to go and so many fantastic conversations have been started. Looking forward to what the last day of IODS will bring.

The buzz around 3D-printed vessels at our booth has been something else! 🖨️🚢

People are genuinely excited about what's possible - and so are we. From USVs to custom defence craft and commercial hulls, the conversations today have reminded us just how much potential this technology has for the maritime industry.

One more day left at IODS 2026 - come see us at Booth One Bravo 15 before it's over!

We are excited to be at IODS 2026 under Versatile Defence. Come find us at booth 1 Bravo 15 to find out how our capabilities and services can benefit your next project.

We're LIVE at IODS 2026 - and we couldn't be more excited! 🎉
The Versatile Defence team has touched down in Perth and we're set up at Booth 1B15 at the Perth Convention & Exhibition Centre. If you're on the floor today, come find us - we'd love to have a yarn.

Here's a bit about what we do and what we're showcasing this week:

⚓ Shipyard & Marine Consulting
From building yards from the ground up to optimising existing facilities, our consultants have boots-on-ground experience across some of the most demanding maritime environments in the region. If you're looking at yard development, vessel lifecycle planning, or operational efficiency - our team has been there and done it.

🚢 Marine Technology Portfolio
We work with a world-class range of marine equipment and technology - deck machinery, propulsion, filtration, scrubbers and automated machinery. We don't just supply gear, we make sure it works in the real world, integrated properly and kept mission-ready.

🖨️ 3D-Printed Vessels & USVs
This is where things get exciting. We're manufacturing poly vessels and unmanned surface vehicles using advanced additive manufacturing - delivering platforms that are fast to produce, tough in the field, and purpose-built for defence. ISR, logistics, force protection - we've got you covered.

Come have a chat with the team. We're proud of what we've built - and even prouder of the people behind it. 💪

Today is World Maritime Day - and it's worth taking a moment to acknowledge the remarkable progress this industry has made.

The maritime sector has undergone a profound transformation over recent decades. Advances in vessel design, propulsion technology, emissions reduction, digital navigation, and shipyard automation have fundamentally changed how ships are built, operated, and maintained.

And the pace of change is accelerating. Additive manufacturing, robotic welding, AI-driven vessel guidance, and sustainable fuel systems are no longer concepts — they are operational realities being adopted by forward-thinking operators and yards around the world.

At Versatile Marine and Versatile Defence, we exist to connect the Australian maritime sector with these advancements - through world-class technology partnerships and decades of hands-on consulting expertise.

Proud to be part of an industry that keeps moving forward. Happy World Maritime Day to everyone in our network.

Today we're taking a moment away from ships and shipyards to say Happy Mother's Day to all the mums out there.

To the mothers in our team, in our industry, and in our lives - thank you. We hope you're being well looked after today.

From everyone at Versatile Marine.
