SeaReady is proud to mark a significant step forward in the restoration of STS Leeuwin II, with the successful removal of both main engines and generators this week.
The complex lift required precise planning, careful risk management and seamless coordination between teams — a milestone that reflects the strength of collaboration across this project. Working closely with the Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation and our project partners, SeaReady continues to deliver safe, efficient and expert-led outcomes at every stage of the rebuild.
The removal was no small feat. It called for a skilled team, operating under tight timelines, to ensure the work was completed safely and effectively. It’s a strong example of how great results are achieved when experienced people are trusted to do what they do best.
The next phase comprises the engine and generators heading to Fremantle Foundry for specialised refurbishment.
More than just a technical job, this project is about helping preserve a vessel that holds a special place in WA’s maritime story — and has inspired generations of young people through adventure, learning and life at sea.
SeaReady is proud to play a part in getting Leeuwin back to full strength — and one step closer to where she belongs: under sail.
