Sustainment
Sustainment. Reliability. Readiness.
What is Sustainment to IKAD?
IKAD origins are in sustainment. Maintaining ongoing operations for key vessels, ensuring or exceeding planned undockings and overall readiness and preparedness. From the time of being introduced to the project needs, our dedicated sustainment teams are carefully planning out the works, considering all elements necessary including coordinating trades and other contractors, longer lead items, logistical or access challenges, removal routes and more. This deep experience underpins the ability to be creative to solve tricky challenges and ensure our ships are back in operation. IKAD are the people our Navy call on when experience counts.
Our Sustainment Philosophy
IKAD sustainment means:
- Ensuring operational continuity for key naval and commercial vessels.
- Meeting or exceeding planned undockings, maintenance windows and availability schedules.
- Planning for readiness, long before the vessel enters the yard.
- Delivering high-quality, dependable outcomes that return vessels to service on time.
Why it matters:
- Our Navy relies on assets that must remain ready for deployment at short notice.
- Sustainment is a long-term commitment, requiring discipline, experience, and foresight.
- IKAD brings decades of proven performance supporting Australia’s sovereign capability.
