Cairns Shipwrights serving the Cairns Marine Industry

Both Thomas and Steve have decades of practical experience having personally worked on SML, Hydrographic, SMB, LCH, Pacific Patrol, Armidale, and Customs class boats and US Navy vessels. Dynamically leading their highly skilled team and cementing their strong relationships with suppliers and complementary businesses, TCS Shipwrights & Joinery has risen to become an integral part of the Cairns Marine Industry.

Our History, Experience and Future

Prior to TCS Shipwrights & Joinery, owner Thomas Symonds and manager Steve Scott worked for Roger Cowan of Coastal Shipwrights for many years. When Roger retired, Thomas started as a sole trader (2010) and in 2013 started trading as TCS Shipwrights & Joinery. From the very beginning we have invested in our equipment, facilities and team, to ensure we stand ready to meet the needs of the Cairns Marine Industry. Today, over a decade of operations later, we have a portfolio of projects both big and small, all completed on time and to the highest standard. Our dedicated quality and safety officer has decades of hands on trade and professional marine industry experience and brings high standards and a wealth of knowledge to our systems. TCS Shipwrights & Joinery is pivotal to the success of the Cairns Marine Industry, and we look forward to the future challenges of the rapidly growing Cairns Marine Precinct.
