WATERFRONT DELIVERIES & REMOVAL

Polaris Marine Group offers professional waterfront deliveries and removal services. Safe, efficient marine transport.
Waterfront Deliveries & Removals - Polaris Marine
Polaris Marine Group offers expert waterfront deliveries and removal services, supporting construction, demolition, and logistics projects throughout Australia’s coastal and harbour environments. Our experienced marine operations team is equipped to handle the transport and retrieval of materials, machinery, and structures directly to or from waterfront locations—where access is often limited or requires marine coordination. Whether you’re working on a foreshore development, managing barge-based construction, or need equipment relocated by water, we provide safe, efficient, and reliable transport solutions across marine zones. From busy ports and marinas to remote headlands and private jetties, we ensure your cargo gets to where it needs to be—on time and with minimal disruption.

Project Summary

Key Achievements

Why Use Waterfront Delivery and Removal Services?

In many marine and coastal construction projects, road access is either restricted, impractical, or entirely unavailable. Transporting materials, machinery, or construction waste via water offers a smart, efficient alternative. It reduces the pressure on local roads, minimises the impact on surrounding communities, and often provides a more direct path to the site. Polaris Marine Group provides barge-based transport solutions that are ideal for a wide range of waterfront activities, including: Construction deliveries to waterfront homes or developments Removal of demolition debris from marine or foreshore sites Transport of heavy equipment, plant, and building materials Delivery of oversized or difficult-to-move items Emergency removal of storm-damaged structures or vessel

Marine Access for Complex Sites

Not all job sites have the luxury of road access or open construction zones. Many projects in harbour, river, or coastal areas must work around tight waterfronts, heritage areas, and environmental protections. Our marine delivery services are designed to work in these restricted spaces. We regularly assist clients in delivering to and removing from waterfront properties, islands, and marine structures such as jetties, pontoons, seawalls, and wharves. Our team plans every delivery or removal operation carefully, coordinating tides, vessel manoeuvres, and access constraints to ensure smooth, on-site execution.

Delivery of Materials, Plant, and Equipment

From bulk building materials like sand, gravel, and concrete blocks to cranes, excavators, and steel fabrication, Polaris Marine Group handles the marine transport of a wide variety of payloads. Our deck barges and landing barges are specially suited for loading and unloading in shallow or restricted waters, allowing for flexible access to shoreline construction sites. Our crew works closely with your project team to confirm dimensions, lifting plans, and site setup. We ensure that loading and unloading can occur safely, and that your cargo is transported securely across all conditions. Where required, we also provide marine crane support to handle heavy or oversized deliveries from barge to site.

Removal of Construction Debris and Redundant Structures

Construction and demolition projects near water often result in the need for safe and legal removal of debris. Polaris Marine Group supports removal operations for timber, concrete, metals, and other construction waste. We ensure that materials are handled with care, minimising environmental impact and avoiding spillage into surrounding waterways. In some cases, our team is called upon to remove damaged pontoons, old jetties, or sunken marine infrastructure. We use a combination of barges, cranes, and underwater divers (when necessary) to extract and transport materials responsibly. All debris is processed according to environmental standards and disposed of at approved facilities.

Foreshore and Marine Construction Support

Waterfront deliveries and removals are often part of broader marine or foreshore works. Polaris Marine Group can provide a complete service package that includes piling, dredging, crane barge support, and marine logistics. We regularly coordinate with construction contractors, engineers, and local authorities to deliver efficient, all-in-one solutions for difficult-access marine projects. Our vessels and equipment are suited to both urban and remote settings, including estuaries, harbours, headlands, and islands. With mobile units and a 24/7 operations capability, we can respond quickly to urgent delivery or removal needs—ensuring continuity and safety on your project.

Tide, Safety, and Site Planning

Every waterfront delivery or removal operation is guided by a detailed marine operations plan. We factor in tides, currents, vessel clearances, berth conditions, and local regulations to avoid unnecessary delays or risks. Where applicable, our team engages with councils, port authorities, and maritime services to secure permits and manage marine traffic notifications. We also implement rigorous safety procedures for all barge operations. This includes lifting plans, load restraint methods, personnel coordination, and waterway exclusion zones. Our operators are trained and certified, and all work is conducted in line with industry best practice.

Environmentally Responsible Marine Operations

Marine logistics must be handled with care to protect the environment. Polaris Marine Group is committed to sustainable operations that minimise disturbance to marine habitats and foreshore zones. We follow strict protocols to prevent spills, avoid sensitive seagrass beds, and reduce emissions during operations. Our containment systems, vessel housekeeping practices, and on-board waste controls help ensure that every delivery or removal job is carried out with environmental compliance front of mind. If your project requires documentation for environmental impact or compliance reporting, we can assist with that too.

PROJECTS

SEE US IN ACTION

Manton Dam

Polaris Marine Constructions were engaged by Exact Contracting to provide a modular crane barge service at the Dam wall at Manton Dam to deliver the replacement of internal valving and upgrades to the infrastructure of the Intake tower.

Nelligen Bridge Marine Support and Demolition Contract

Polaris Marine Group played a key role in the Nelligen Bridge project, providing overwater support for construction before demolishing the 7-span, 5,000-tonne bridge. The in-house demolition was incident-free, using a suspended work deck with geotextile and drainage to capture debris. Materials were processed on-site and recycled. This project highlighted Polaris Marine’s expertise in complex marine demolition within sensitive waterways.

Seabed Services Pipe Line Deployment

Deploy 3 service pipe lines on the sea floor between Garden Island and Fort Dennison and cover with precast grout mattresses.

Fort Denison – Ferry Wharf

This project included wharf demolition, sea wall remediation, pile installation, concrete works, and the installation of a new pontoon with electrical connections.

Circular Quay – Western Promenade – Soffit Concrete Repairs

This project involved concrete remediation works, including hydro-blasting, shotcrete application, bar reinforcement, protective coatings, and concrete cutting, with site set-up, exclusion zones, and sound curtain installation to ensure safety and minimal disruption.

Manly Boat Shed – Pontoon & Jetty Replacement

This project involved constructing a pontoon, gangway, and timber jetty, including piling, demolition, and electrical connections, to deliver a durable marine access solution.
