This channel marker's wild ride began when Cyclone Alfred swept it away from Fitzroy Reef, but in a stunning display of fortitude, it managed to stay attached to its 250kg anchor and chain throughout its nearly 100 nautical mile journey to Rosslyn Bay, where it was recovered by the Keppel Barge for Maritime Safety Queensland.

Meet the team.

Kurt is our Skipper and has a wealth of marine knowledge. With over 30 years of experience navigating inland waterways, Kurt is the steady hand at the helm of our operations. As our Skipper, he oversees every journey from start to finish—handling navigation, safety, scheduling, and all the behind-the-scenes planning that keeps us running efficiently. His calm demeanor and sharp eye make him a trusted leader on deck and a favorite among our clients. Whether it’s maneuvering tight locks or managing weather challenges, Kurt keeps the barge (and team) on course.

Hayden is our deckhand, Hayden is the muscle and heart of the deck, ensuring that cargo is secured, lines are tight, and everything is shipshape from bow to stern. With a hands-on attitude and a great sense of teamwork, Hayden handles everything from mooring and cargo loading to daily maintenance with skill and care. He’s also the first to lend a hand, crack a joke, or share a story from life on the water.

The Keppel Barge team recently wrapped up a major boat demolition job right here in Ross Creek. This was no small task — a big job with big challenges, and safety was our top priority every step of the way. From prep to final haul-out, the boys handled it like pros, getting the job done efficiently and without a hitch. 💪

Just another day of hard work on the water!
