Proud to support the future of sustainable public transport in Western Australia
Echo Marine Group Pty Ltd is honoured to have been selected by the Western Australian State Government to design and build five new battery-electric public transport ferries, the first electric fleet to operate in Australia for Perth’s iconic Swan River.
This important project highlights the capability of Western Australia’s world-class shipbuilding industry and the value of investing in local industry, local jobs, and apprenticeships. As a 100% West Australian family-owned and operated company, we are proud to contribute vessels that will serve the community for decades to come.
Designed in partnership with One2three Naval Architects and built at our Henderson facility in the Australian Marine Complex, the ferries will feature advanced battery-electric propulsion—delivering quiet, clean, and efficient operations, setting a new benchmark for sustainable ferry transport in WA.
We look forward to working closely with the WA State Government, Public Transport Authority, and our industry partners to deliver a high-quality outcome that supports innovation, skilled local employment, and environmentally responsible transport for all Western Australians.
