Bhagwan Marine have proudly christened our newest vessel, the Bhagwan Micah at our Brisbane operation. This latest addition to our fleet marks another milestone in the Company’s strategic growth as Australia’s leading provider of integrated marine solutions across Offshore Energy, Subsea, Ports & Inshore logistics and Defence sectors.
With a fleet now of over 100 vessels, Bhagwan Marine continues to position itself as the partner of choice for operators who demand proven reliability, technical excellence and low-risk project execution in complex marine environments.
Bhagwan Micah Purpose-Built for the Energy Transition and Critical Infrastructure
The Bhagwan Micah (formerly ‘the Phoenix’) is a 38m state-of-the-art Stern Landing Vessel (SLV), designed from the ground up for the exacting requirements of modern offshore energy and subsea operations – particularly oil & gas decommissioning with the ability to work in shallow water environments, subsea IMR and defence logistics projects.
Unlike a traditional landing craft that loads and discharges over a forward ramp, a SLV operates from the stern. This design provides:
- Safer, more efficient sea going capabilities and cargo deliveries
- Improved manoeuvrability in shallow, remote or constrained areas
- Greater efficiency and turnaround times
- Low carbon intensity
The vessel is secured under a five-year bareboat charter from BM Fleet, providing Bhagwan Marine with long-term control of a scarce, high-spec asset while maintaining capital flexibility for further fleet renewal. We look forward to Bhagwan Micah joining our operations and supporting the safe, reliable and efficient marine services our clients depend on.
Honouring the Name
The vessel proudly carries the name Bhagwan Micah in honour of the late Micah Kirk, a much-loved and former member of our Melbourne team.
In maritime tradition, naming a vessel in honour of an individual carries enduring significance – it is said the name accompanies the vessel on every voyage and watches over those who sail aboard her. Through this tradition, Micah’s name, contribution and legacy will continue with the Bhagwan Micah throughout her service life.
Bhagwan Marine – Proven on Water. Ready for Tomorrow
The Bhagwan Micah is not just another vessel – it is a strategic asset that reinforces Bhagwan Marine’s leadership in complex, high-consequence marine operations where safety, technical performance and environmental responsibility cannot be compromised. We invite operators in Offshore Energy, Subsea construction, Renewables, Ports and Defence to discuss how the Bhagwan Micah and our broader over 100-vessel fleet can de-risk and accelerate your next project.
