Speaking about the pace and efficiency of the project, Sam Eyles commented, “The Boat Works is the boating hub of Australia where there are quality trades and a talented team on-site, all working collectively as a team with a great ‘can-do’ attitude to every challenge.
“I am proud of the Chapman team who put in so many hours around the clock to get the project completed within the deadline and to budget. It was a pleasure and privilege to work with Captain Daniel, whose knowledge, experience and input were highly valuable, and I look forward to continuing that relationship moving forward.”
Tony Longhurst, CEO at The Boat Works, commented, “We are thrilled with the historic achievement of the refit and launch of Oceania, which perfectly aligns with our ethos and the values of our yachting community.
“We and our boating customers are all mindful custodians of the waterways. We congratulate Greenpeace Australia Pacific and wish them well in their campaigns.” Tony continued, “The Boat Works are immensely proud and privileged to have the exceptionally talented Chapman group as valued partners within our world-class superyacht yard and marina.
“Chapman’s meticulous coordination has led to an outstanding transformation of Oceania.”
According to David Ritter, CEO, Greenpeace Australia Pacific, the freshly refit Oceania “will chart a new course in Greenpeace’s at-sea legacy”.
“Oceania will enable Greenpeace to increase their at-sea activity over some of the world’s most beautiful and ecologically precious waters, from the Great Barrier Reef to Western Australia’s Scott Reef, to the South Tasman Sea and the waters of Pacific Island nations.
“Our region’s magnificent oceans face severe threats including offshore gas drilling, deep sea mining, overfishing, plastic pollution and climate damage. The launch of Oceania creates a dynamic new capacity for Greenpeace to expose, document and peacefully confront these and other threats to the oceans in our region.
“Oceania is a game-changer,” explained Captain Daniel Rizzotti. “We will use Oceania to do what Greenpeace does best: bear witness, collaborate with communities and take peaceful direct action against big polluters. With almost 50 years of at-sea campaigning in our wake, Oceania charts a new course in Greenpeace Australia Pacific's legacy.
“Australia and the Pacific are some of the most beautiful and precious places on earth, but also the most vulnerable. Oceania will be a beacon, a spotlight and a messenger.
“Its environmentally friendly refit means we leave a small footprint doing big work.”
For its inaugural campaign, Oceania will set sail next week for Broome, Western Australia, where it will stand with communities against Woodside’s Burrup Hub project, the largest proposed fossil fuel project in Australia today. According to Greenpeace, if this project gets the green light, the Burrup Hub could emit more than 6.1 billion tonnes of carbon emissions over its lifetime to 2070, fuelling the climate catastrophe already impacting Australian and Pacific communities.
