Gold Coast Marine Centre has appointed Australia’s leading travel lift trainer, Shane Subichin as Shipyard Manager, as the centre embarks on a major program of expansion within Australia’s largest Marine Precinct.

Shane brings a wealth of knowledge, having run the shipyard at Runaway Bay Marina for the past 15 years and has over 21 years of industry experience.

Shane is highly regarded by Gold Coast boat owners and has a genuine passion for all boats, no matter whether they are timber, steel, fibreglass or aluminium. 'It doesn’t matter whether it’s a small craft or a super yacht, every boat deserves our very best care,' he said.

He is one of only two Marine Industry Association Australia (CSM’s) Certified Service Managers in Australia. He also holds a Certificate 4 in training and assessment which enabled him to become the first registered trainer to offer the MIAA’s straddle carrier operations and maintenance courses right across the country.

The Centre’s general manager, David Whyte, is elated about Shane’s appointment. 'His genuine concern for customers, extensive industry knowledge and natural enthusiasm make him a perfect fit with our culture and service values,' he said. 'Our centre is very customer focussed and we are dedicated to their total boating experience. We work hard to ensure that all services are excellent value, delivered on time and carried out within a clean and friendly environment.'

David joined Gold Coast Marine Centre in April of this year following an extensive career in marine retail sales & management. His role includes overseeing the centre’s multi-million dollar expansion program while ensuring that GCMC delivers on its promise of continual pursuit of excellence for the customers.

In a further expression of confidence in the marine industry’s future, GCMC recently acquired Australia’s first Sea-Lift, a self-propelled submersible cradle capable of lifting boats up to 20 metres in length and with up to 3 metres draft. The lift is the only one of its kind in the southern hemisphere and will operate alongside the centre’s existing 70 tonne Travel Lift.

The Sea-Lift is ideal for lifting wide beam catamarans, houseboats and other multi-hull vessels, all of which are becoming increasingly popular with boat owners.

'With significantly greater lifting capacity, vastly improved refit and hard stand facilities and our friendly professional crew, we will be able to lift and service a much larger variety and volume of vessels,' David said. 'The future looks very exciting for our customers & crew.'
