Chairman’s Report

MMA is in the process of transforming itself as a 
business and has a clear strategy to achieve this.

Whilst we continue to progress our strategy 
of diversifying our earnings base to more 
environmentally sustainable sectors such 
as offshore wind and government services, 
we remain highly leveraged to oil and gas 
activity which is seeing a recovery due to 
rising energy security concerns prompted 
by the Russia-Ukraine conflict. Demand 
for alternative sources of oil and gas has 
increased, which is leading to an increase 
in offshore development activity to boost 
production both to take advantage of the 
current high oil and gas prices and as an 
alternative to Russian supply in the medium 
term. We are seeing this translate to an 
improving market for vessels with utilisation 
and rates beginning to improve across our 
key markets as demand increases and the 
market tightens. 

Whilst oil and particularly gas is expected 
to continue to be a vital part of the energy 
mix for some time, the transition to 
renewable energy remains in full swing with 
offshore wind a key component of future 
energy supply. MMA is ideally positioned 
to service this rapidly growing industry with 
our vessels, subsea and project logistics 
capability directly transferable to offshore 
wind. 

We continue to solidify our position in 
Taiwan with the acquisition of 49.9% of 
Taiwanese survey company Global Aqua 
Services during the year and the formation 
of MMA Global Aqua to target the offshore 
wind market with the benefit of local 
ownership.

FY2022 continued to be challenged 
by the COVID-19 pandemic,  
however overall market sentiment 
for the offshore services industry 
has significantly improved in recent 
months and we are seeing positive 
momentum going into FY2023.

MMA delivered earnings in line with 
expectations for the financial year. FY2022 
Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation 
and Amortisation (“EBITDA”) were $32.3 
million. On a like-for-like basis, this was a 
9% improvement on FY2021 EBITDA of 
$29.6 million after adjusting for the impact 
of various one-off items and government 
subsidies. 

Importantly, MMA remained cashflow 
positive throughout the COVID-19 trading 
trough, and we closed the financial year 
with cash at bank of $73.9 million.

FY2022 was also a milestone year in 
terms of MMA’s Balance Sheet, with our 
leverage ratios returning to acceptable 
levels following a well-executed debt 
reduction strategy. During the year we 
completed our non-core vessel sales 
program with approximately $37 million in 
proceeds being used to pay down debt. In 
addition, we made amortisation payments 
of $15 million including a prepayment of 
$2.5 million towards FY2023 scheduled 
amortisation. We also entered into an 
agreement to sell the Batam Supply Base 
for US$15 million (A$21 million) which will 
further reduce our net debt during the first 
half of FY2023. Whilst our current facilities 
are not due to expire until early 2025, our 
improved balance sheet opens up more 
flexibility within the terms of our current 
debt facilities and will put us in a stronger 
position when it comes to refinancing. 

The outlook for offshore wind in South East 
Asia remains extremely positive with over 
3,000 turbines to be installed in the region 
by 2026. MMA is focused on growing its 
share of revenue from offshore wind over 
the coming five years with a focus on 
Taiwan, South Korea, Japan and Vietnam.

We are also committed to increasing 
our revenue from the government and 
defence sector predominantly through our 
participation in the HydroScheme Industry 
Partnership Program (“HIPP”), an extensive 
program of nautical charting surveys 
in Australian waters. To date we have 
secured four scopes of work as part of the 
program, the most recent to be delivered 
in the Cape Leeuwin region of Western 
Australia utilising the Mermaid Searcher 
as the support vessel. With an extensive 
future program of survey works planned 
around Australia, we are keen to position 
ourselves to grow this part of the business 
and are currently investigating autonomous 
technologies to enhance our capability in 
this market.

MMA is in the process of transforming itself 
as a business and has a clear strategy to 
achieve this.

We expect improved market conditions 
across oil and gas together with competing 
demand from offshore wind to enable us 
to release the latent operating leverage 
in our core vessel and subsea business 
as utilisation and rates on our vessel fleet 
increase and we can generate higher 
margins on our services. Whilst we 
have reduced the size of the fleet to 18 
vessels, we have disposed of the more 
commoditised vessels and retained the 
more specialised fleet with the greatest 
potential for improved returns. We also plan 
to supplement the owned fleet with third-
party chartered vessels to meet market 
demand to increase our returns.

Our diversification strategy is starting to 
bear fruit with over 20% of our revenue 
generated from non-oil and gas sources 
during FY2022. 

In terms of extending our service offering, 
we are performing more integrated work 
scopes and further embedding ourselves 
with our clients through our subsea 
services division. 

To further enhance our diversified service 
offering, we recently announced the 
acquisition of Subcon. Subcon provides 
innovative stabilisation, coastal erosion 
and engineered reef solutions to the oil and 
gas, offshore wind, coastal infrastructure 
and tourism sectors both in Australia and 
internationally. The acquisition enhances 
our service offering to our existing oil and 
gas and offshore wind markets whilst 
bringing a number of exciting new solutions 
to expand our reach into coastal erosion 
management, decommissioning and the 
tourism sectors. 

As a business we are committed to 
sustainability and continue to make 
progress on a variety of initiatives across 
environmental, social and governance 
areas. With vessel fuel technology being 
our greatest opportunity to cut emissions 
as an industry, we were proud to 
collaborate with Fortescue Future Industries 
on some exciting new research into 
ammonia as an alternative fuel source for 
the marine industry, with the MMA Leveque 
(now FFI Green Pioneer) being used as a 
prototype vessel. We also progressed a full 
technical evaluation for the installation of 
battery technology on one of our support 
vessels. I encourage you to read our 2022 
Sustainability Report which is included in 
this Annual Report. 

The health, safety and wellbeing of our 
people remains a key priority. I am pleased 
to say that we achieved our target of 
improving our total recordable incident 
rate by 50% during the year with our TRCF 
currently sitting within the top quartile of our 
industry peers. In a challenging year filled 
with COVID-19 disruption, I am extremely 
proud of our people for their ongoing focus 
on keeping themselves and their colleagues 
safe. Our Target 365 strategy is based 
on the belief that we can all be safe 365 
days of the year and our improved safety 
performance during FY2022 is a testament 
to the Target 365 safety culture being 
embraced and lived by our people.

I would like to conclude by thanking my 
fellow Board members for their valuable 
stewardship of the business over the past 
12 months.

I would also like to thank MMA’s senior 
leadership team and staff for their 
commitment to the business over the past 
few years during what has been a very 
challenging period for the industry. 

I am optimistic that better times are ahead 
and that we can look forward to strong 
momentum as we deliver the strategy and 
transform MMA into a business for the 
future.

Managing Director’s Report

Underpinning our strategy is the marine expertise 
within our business which enables us to deliver 
innovative solutions. 

Offshore activity for the coming five years 
is expected to be strong with an estimated 
US$168 billion in new projects expected 
to be sanctioned in MMA’s operating 
regions between 2022 and 2026. The 
oil price recovery continued through the 
financial year with an average Brent oil 
price of US$76/barrel during the first 
half. Prices surged during the second 
half averaging US$107/barrel following 
the Russian invasion of Ukraine which 
disrupted Russian supply. The Russian 
conflict has prompted concerns about 
energy security and resulted in a change 
in sentiment towards new oil and gas 
developments (particularly gas) to reduce 
reliance on Russia as the world transitions 
to renewable energy. 

Offshore wind activity continues to grow 
exponentially with over 3,000 turbines to be 
installed and US$80 billion expected to be 
spent on offshore wind farm developments 
in Asia and Australia between 2022 and 
2026. As a vessel intensive activity, offshore 
wind is expected to drive significant 
additional vessel demand over that period. 

With the projected growth in demand 
for vessels from both oil and gas and 
renewables, the offshore vessel market 
is expected to tighten significantly which 
should drive utilisation and rates higher. 
The market for subsea services is expected 
to follow a similar trajectory. 

We are also starting to see governments 
increase their focus on decommissioning 
requirements, which MMA is ideally 
positioned to support, with our combination 
of vessels, subsea and project logistics 
expertise.

FY2022 continued to be impacted  
by COVID-19, however we are 
seeing positive momentum going 
into FY2023.

MMA reported Revenue of $283.8 million 
for the year, up 19.5% on the prior year. 
EBITDA for FY2022 was $32.3 million 
which was in line with expectations. 
EBITDA improved 9% on the prior year after 
adjusting for the impact of various one-off 
items and government subsidies which 
were included in the FY2021 result and not 
repeated in FY2022. 

Importantly, MMA remained cashflow 
positive during the year generating 
operating cashflow of $15.2 million and we 
closed the financial year with cash at bank 
of $73.9 million.

The financial result was significantly 
impacted by COVID-19 which directly 
affected our operations, resulting in vessel 
downtime, project delays and increased 
costs. 

Market conditions improved during the last 
quarter of the financial year with COVID-19 
related restrictions easing combined with a 
spike in oil and gas prices as a result of the 
Russia-Ukraine conflict.

We finished the financial year on a 
significantly more optimistic note, and we 
see positive momentum going into FY2023.

Market Conditions 

At a macro level, there are positive signs for 
activity in both the oil and gas and offshore 
wind sectors.

Offshore oil and gas sanctioning activity 
picked up during the year with many 
projects which had been delayed due 
to COVID-19 achieving final investment 
decision. 

Strategy

Our strategy is focused on extracting the 
maximum return from our core business, 
leveraging the recovery in oil and gas 
investment whilst continuing to diversify 
and grow our presence in the offshore 
wind and government services sectors, 
transforming our business along with the 
energy transition.

A key strategic focus is to continue to 
leverage our skills and assets across 
our vessels, subsea, project logistics 
and engineering businesses to deliver 
integrated project solutions for our clients 
across all of our key target markets. We 
have successfully delivered a number of 
integrated projects over the past two years 
in both oil and gas and offshore wind and 
we will continue to refine our integrated 
service model with the aim of further 
embedding our services with our clients. 

Whilst we expect oil and gas will be a 
fundamental part of the energy mix for 
some time, the focus on climate change 
has increased the pace of the transition 
to renewable energy, including offshore 
wind. We see renewables as a key future 
market for MMA with a substantial number 
of new offshore wind farms expected to 
be developed in the Asia Pacific region 
over the coming decade. Over the past 
two years, MMA has supported a number 
of offshore wind development projects in 
Taiwan utilising our vessels and subsea 
services to deliver a range of work scopes.

A key part of our renewables strategy has 
been to establish local operating structures 
to enable us to operate under local content 
rules. We recently established a local entity 
in Taiwan and acquired a 49.9% share in a 
Taiwanese survey business to create a new 
entity “MMA Global Aqua” to facilitate our 
growth in that market. We also have a MOU 
in place with Worley to provide integrated 
inspection and maintenance services to the 
offshore wind market in Southeast Asia. We 
will look to establish similar structures in 
South Korea, Japan and Vietnam as these 
markets develop.

We continue to target the government 
and defence sectors and are currently 
active in delivering hydrographic survey 
services to the Australian Navy as part of 
the HydroScheme Industry Partnership 
Program (“HIPP”). We have recently 
secured our fourth hydrographic survey 
scope and are investing in technology to 
continue growing this part of the business. 

Underpinning our strategy is the marine 
expertise within our business which 
enables us to deliver innovative solutions 
to our clients to differentiate us from our 
competitors. We will continue to build and 
maintain this marine expertise to enable us 
to deliver our strategy.

MMA derived 22% of its revenue from 
non-oil and gas sources including 9% from 
offshore wind and 6% from government 
services with a further 7% from other 
sources such as salvage, cable lay support 
and marine infrastructure.

Subcon Acquisition

Sustainability

Asset Sales

In line with our strategy to diversify and 
extend our service offering in a sustainable 
manner, we recently completed the 
acquisition of Subcon.

Established in 2011 and headquartered 
in Perth, Subcon provides innovative 
stabilisation, coastal erosion and 
engineered reef solutions to the oil and 
gas, offshore wind, coastal infrastructure 
and tourism sectors both in Australia and 
internationally. 

The acquisition supports MMA’s growth 
objectives and is expected to generate 
a number of key strategic benefits, 
enhancing our capability to service our 
existing markets through the combination 
of MMA and Subcon’s service offering 
whilst enabling us to access new markets 
with significant potential for growth 
including oil and gas decommissioning 
through Subcon’s rigs to reef offering, 
attenuating reef systems to combat coastal 
erosion, scour protection technology for 
offshore wind farms and recreational reef 
developments.

We are confident that the Subcon business 
will thrive under MMA’s ownership 
with increased access to capital and 
complementary skills and assets to 
accelerate growth. We look forward to 
jointly developing and growing the business 
with the Subcon team.

Integration of the business is underway with 
the Subcon business to become a part of 
MMA’s Subsea Services division. 

We are committed to 
growing our business whilst 
achieving sustainable 
outcomes for our people, 
the environment and the 
community.

Sustainability is integral to our overall 
strategy and purpose as an organisation 
and we are committed to growing our 
business whilst achieving sustainable 
outcomes for our people, the environment 
and the community whilst operating with 
strong ethics and governance. Further 
information on our commitment to 
sustainability and our progress on various 
initiatives is included in our Sustainability 
Report which forms part of this Annual 
Report.

Balance Sheet

FY2022 was an important year for the 
Company in terms of returning our Balance 
Sheet to a position of strength.

Following a focused strategy of debt 
reduction through non-core asset sales 
over the past 12 months, MMA’s leverage 
ratios have now returned to acceptable 
levels with Net Debt / EBITDA of 1.6x and 
Gross Debt / EBITDA of 3.9x at the end 
of the financial year. Net Debt to Property, 
Plant and Equipment was 14%.

As at 30 June 2022, MMA had cash at 
bank of $73.9 million and total bank debt 
including lease liabilities of $125.0 million 
resulting in a net debt position of $51.1 
million on approximately $370.3 million of 
fixed assets. 

During the year, we completed our 
non-core vessel sales program with 
approximately $37 million in proceeds 
being used to pay down debt. In addition, 
we made amortisation payments of 
$15 million including a prepayment of 
$2.5 million towards FY2023 scheduled 
amortisation. We also entered into an 
agreement to sell the Batam Supply Base 
for US$15 million (A$21 million) which will 
further reduce our net debt during the first 
half of FY2023.

Whilst our current facilities are not due 
to expire until early 2025, our improved 
Balance Sheet metrics gives us additional 
flexibility with regard to capital allocation 
within the terms of the current facilities 
and will position the Company well when it 
comes to exploring refinancing alternatives. 

As part of our core business strategy, we 
continually review the composition of our 
fleet and have been actively divesting a 
number of our more commoditised vessels 
where the returns are suboptimal and 
where we see limited future upside. 

During the year, we completed the sale of 
seven vessels and two barges for a total 
of approximately A$37 million with the 
proceeds generally in line with the Assets 
Held for Sale value on the Company’s 
Balance Sheet. 

Our Batam Supply Base tenant also 
exercised their US$15.0 million purchase 
option on the facility during the year with 
completion expected by December 2022.

As MMA has ceased shipbuilding some 
time ago, the sale of the yard is a sensible 
strategic decision for the Company. 
MMA has retained a portion of the yard 
and waterfront to continue to service our 
current Batam clients.

Cost Control

Cost control remains an ongoing key focus 
for MMA. 

The COVID-19 pandemic increased the 
costs and complexity of our operations 
and resulted in vessel down time and 
project delays as well as increased costs 
associated with moving crew and assets 
across international and interstate borders 
due to quarantine and border restrictions. 

The unaudited estimated additional direct 
cost to the business for the 2022 financial 
year was in the range of $5.0-$6.0 million, 
with indirect and lost opportunities further 
compounding the commercial effect of 
COVID-19. The impact of COVID-19 related 
cost increases significantly reduced in the 
fourth quarter as restrictions eased in a 
number of locations.

Whilst we have stripped a significant 
amount of overhead out of the business in 
recent years, we continue to seek further 
efficiencies in our existing business whilst 
ensuring we invest in the development of 
our new growth markets.

We expect global inflation levels to increase 
our cost base over time, however at 
this stage the overall impact has been 
manageable.

Operational Update

Vessel Services

Vessel Services revenue for the year was 
$177.3 million, up 7% on FY2021. Vessel 
EBITDA was $34.2 million down from $38.2 
million in FY2021. Our EBITDA margin was 
impacted by increased costs and vessel 
downtime due to COVID-19 as well as lower 
overall utilisation on the MPSV vessels 
which have higher holding costs when not 
contracted.

The financial performance of the vessel 
division was significantly impacted by 
COVID-19 with vessel downtime resulting 
from positive COVID-19 cases within our 
crews, increased costs associated with 
quarantine requirements and reduced 
activity in South East Asia, particularly 
Malaysia, as a result of projects being 
deferred due to the pandemic. Market 
conditions improved late in the last 
quarter of the financial year as COVID-19 
restrictions eased somewhat and a number 
of deferred projects came back online, 
increasing demand. 

Average utilisation for the year across the 
fleet was 73%, up from 53% in FY2021. 
AHT utilisation was 87% (FY2021 80%), 
PSV utilisation was 84% (FY2021 74%) and 
MPSV utilisation was 60% (FY2021 70%). 
Utilisation on the AHTS vessels improved 
to 69% from 21% in FY2021 as a result of 
selling a number of underutilised AHTS 
vessels over the course of the past 18 
months and Australian project logistics 
scopes utilising a number of AHTS vessels 
during the year. 

As at 30 June 2022, MMA had a total of 18 
vessels (17 owned, one chartered), having 
sold seven vessels during the year. Of the 
total fleet, 16 vessels were under contract 
and working with the remaining two vessels 
available for work in the spot market. 

As at 30 June 2022, 49% of available 
vessel days for FY2023 were contracted, 
increasing to 60% taking into account 
highly probable contract awards and 
extension periods. This compares to 29% 
and 43% at the same time last year. On a 
revenue basis, 58% of our forecast revenue 
is already under contract for FY2023, (70% 
including highly probable) as compared to 
46% and 69% at the same time last year. 

MMA secured a number of new vessel 
contracts during the year adding to our 
baseload of contracted earnings for the 
vessel business. 

In January 2022, we secured a contract 
renewal with Woodside for the Mermaid 
Cove for a period of 3.5 years with a further 
1.5 years in option periods. As part of the 
contract MMA is working with our client on 
a range of decarbonisation initiatives for the 
vessel including exploring the viability of 
battery technology to lower emissions. 

In February 2022, we signed a five-year 
contract renewal for the MMA Brewster to 
provide production support services for 
INPEX operated Ichthys LNG, with a further 
five one-year extension options thereafter. 
The MMA Brewster was specifically 
designed for the INPEX Ichthys LNG Project 
and has been successfully supporting 
INPEX since 2017. We were pleased to 
continue our positive working relationship 
with INPEX and to continue supporting 
them on their key Australian project.

We also signed a new contract for the 
MMA Privilege to provide accommodation 
and walk to work support services for 
a long-term client in Côte d'Ivoire. The 
contract is for a period of two years firm 
and commenced in March 2022. This is an 
important contract locking away one of our 
larger vessels for a substantial period.

The MMA Pinnacle completed its three-
year contract with iTech 7, Subsea 7’s 
Life of Field business unit and returned to 
the MPSV fleet after its five-year docking. 
Following this, it secured a significant 
integrated contract with our Subsea 
Services division in Qatar.

We also signed a one-year extension of the 
MMA Inscription with Santos supporting 
Bayu-Undan in the Timor Sea. The MMA 
Inscription was previously modified 
specifically for this project to provide dual 
static tow and offtake support duties, 
resulting in substantial cost savings for 
the client. We were pleased to extend our 
services on this project.

Subsequent to the financial year end, in 
July 2022, we signed a contract with OMV 
New Zealand for the platform supply vessel 
MMA Leeuwin. The contract is expected to 
commence in September 2022 with a firm 
period of 200 days and a further 150 days 
in extension options. This was a pleasing 
development, expanding our operational 
portfolio in the New Zealand region to two 
vessels. 

MMA continued to have a number of 
vessels on longer-term contracts including 
the MMA Plover which continues on a 
two-year plus options contract with INPEX, 
providing drilling rig support services for 
the Ichthys LNG field.

We also have the MMA Vision supporting 
OMV Limited in New Zealand on a three-
year contract with further options to extend. 
Our strategy to relocate the MMA Vision 
to the region has been successful and 
having the vessel on location has meant 
that we have managed to secure a number 
of short-term work scopes for the vessel to 
supplement the OMV contract, enhancing 
our returns on this asset. 

The Mermaid Searcher continued on 
contract with UPS providing support 
services for the Northern Endeavour FPSO 
decommissioning project.

We continue to focus on increasing our 
presence in offshore wind and had six 
vessels, the MMA Prestige, MMA Coral, 
MMA Leveque, MMA Responder, MMA 
Crystal and MMA Pride all supporting 
various wind farm developments and 
maintenance activities in Taiwan during the 
year.

MMA had a number of vessels supporting 
our Project Logistics division’s contracts 
with Subsea 7 and Technip for tug and 
barge and other logistics support for 
Julimar Stage 2 and Gorgon Stage 2.

The MMA Prestige completed a number of 
subsea scopes in South East Asia including 
support services for salvage operations in 
Sri Lanka before being mobilised to Taiwan 
for offshore wind support work.

The outlook for the vessel business is 
looking more positive with recent contract 
renewals locking in a firm baseload of 
contracted earnings going forward. 

Macro conditions are improving across 
our markets with demand for vessels 
increasing. Whilst the impacts of COVID-19 
continue to be an ongoing challenge, the 
situation has significantly improved since 
the easing of restrictions in most of our 
operating regions.

Subsea Services

Subsea Services revenue was $70.8 million 
for the year and Subsea EBITDA was $2.4 
million, as compared to revenue of $70.6 
million and an EBITDA loss of $(1.5) million 
in the previous financial year. 

Significant improvements have been made 
in terms of business and operational 
processes over the past 12 months 
and we are starting to see this translate 
into improved operational and financial 
performance. 

The subsea division continued to be 
impacted by COVID-19 during the year 
particularly in South East Asia and the 
United Kingdom where activity was well 
below average levels. Whilst the situation 
improved in the last quarter of the financial 
year, the pandemic caused project delays 
and difficulties in mobilising personnel to 
project locations, impacting our revenue 
and costs for the majority of the year.

Notwithstanding the impacts of the 
pandemic, the subsea business had a 
positive year completing a number of 
significant projects across renewables, 
oil and gas and defence, reinforcing our 
strategy around integrated services. 

Innovation & Sustainability

In December 2021, MMA secured a 
survey scope for the Marinus Link project 
in Tasmania. The project scope involved 
the acquisition and interpretation of 
geotechnical data to assist with the cable 
route feasibility assessment for the Marinus 
Link interconnector project. Marinus Link 
is set to play a critical role in unlocking 
Tasmania’s renewable energy and storage 
resources to deliver low-cost, reliable and 
clean energy for customers in the National 
Electricity Market. MMA was proud to 
be involved in this project which is set 
to play a critical role in supporting the 
decarbonisation of Australia’s economy 
and the country’s transition to renewable 
energy.

MMA has continued to support the 
Australian Government Department of 
Defence through its involvement in the 
HydroScheme Industry Partnership 
Program. During the financial year, we 
successfully completed two hydrographic 
survey scopes including the Camden 
Sound survey off Broome, Western 
Australia and the Cape Barren to Babel 
Island survey off the coast of Tasmania. 
MMA also recently secured the contract for 
the Cape Leeuwin survey region in Western 
Australia which will be delivered in FY2023. 
We are currently exploring a range of 
autonomous technologies to enhance our 
service offering and to position ourselves 
to continue to support the government with 
this extensive multi-year project.

We also conducted a number of integrated 
work scopes utilising the MMA Prestige 
and MMA Vigilant. We recently secured our 
largest integrated services project to date, 
supporting a pipeline installation campaign 
in Qatar. The campaign commenced in 
June 2022 and is expected to continue 
until December 2022, generating estimated 
revenue in the order of US$16.5 million 
(A$23 million) for the firm contract period. 
This project marks a major milestone for 
MMA, securing a significant integrated 
subsea services contract utilising one of 
MMA’s flagship vessels, the MMA Pinnacle. 

We continue to make inroads into the 
offshore wind market and completed 
a number of projects during the year 
including a site investigation survey for 
a major offshore wind development and 
several smaller scopes. We also completed 
the acquisition of 49.9% of a Taiwanese 
survey company to form MMA Global Aqua, 
to actively target opportunities with the 
benefit of a local partner. The MMA Crystal 
was recently fitted with a suite of subsea 
equipment with the vessel reflagged to be 
permanently located in Taiwan. We are 
also actively developing inspection and 
maintenance opportunities in collaboration 
with Worley as part of our joint venture 
agreement. 

Rig positioning activity was strong during 
the year with MMA supporting rig moves 
for Woodside, INPEX, Beach Energy 
and Santos under our long-term frame 
agreements with these clients as well as for 
Jadestone Energy. 

Subsea stabilisation activity was also 
strong with a number of large grouting 
and scour protection projects undertaken 
for Subsea 7, Technip and McDermott. 
The recent acquisition of the Subcon 
business will solidify our position in the 
subsea stabilisation market and will bring a 
number of exciting new capabilities under 
our Environmental and Stabilisation service 
offering. 

The UK business experienced lower activity 
due to COVID-19 but in recent months 
the market has begun to pick up and a 
number of sizeable work scopes have been 
secured.

The macro-outlook for the subsea business 
is improving and activity levels have picked 
up in recent months. 

Whilst COVID-19 continues to present 
operating challenges, we expect the 
performance of the subsea business to 
continue to improve. 

Project Logistics

The Project Logistics division generated 
revenue for the year of $60.3 million up 
from $16.5 million and EBITDA of $2.1 
million, up from an underlying EBITDA of 
$0.9 million. 

The Project Logistics division had a busy 
year with two major offshore construction 
projects in the North West Shelf of Australia 
being undertaken during the year.

The first project was a logistics scope 
for Subsea 7 supporting the transport of 
subsea equipment from South East Asia 
to Australia for the Julimar 2 Project. The 
vessel spread consisted of four tugs and 
two barges with three of the tugs coming 
from MMA’s fleet and the remainder 
chartered in from third parties.

The second major project was a logistics 
scope supporting Technip on a large 
subsea installation project in the North 
West Shelf with a 10-vessel spread (six 
tugs and four barges). The project was 
initially planned to commence in direct 
continuation of Julimar 2 but was delayed 
until the second half which reduced the 
overall profitability of the project due to the 
holding costs of the vessel spread between 
the two projects.

We have also been successful in making 
inroads into the South East Asian market 
and completed logistics projects in the 
Philippines and India which contributed to 
the second half. 

Activity in the project logistics arena is 
lumpy and dependent on large project 
construction scopes being undertaken. 
Offshore construction activity in Australia 
is expected to be lower in FY2023, 
however, the longer-term outlook for 
project logistics requirements in MMA’s 
key regions is relatively strong, with a 
number of large oil and gas projects 
flagged for development between FY2024 
to FY2026. Decommissioning projects are 
also expected to take place in the same 
timeframe with project logistics being a key 
component of decommissioning offshore 
infrastructure. Similarly, the outlook for 
offshore wind is strong and will be a key 
focus area for the Projects Logistics group 
into the future.

The Batam Shipyard generated rental 
income from the sublease to WASCO 
during the first half. WASCO recently 
exercised their purchase option on the 
yard for US$15 million with the sale of the 
yard to be completed by December 2022. 
MMA has retained access to a portion 
of the facility and waterfront for its own 
operations.

MMA’s facility in Tuas, Singapore was 
handed back to the Singapore Government 
at the end of the lease period. MMA 
secured laydown area, warehouse facilities 
and wharf access at a state of the art third 
party facility in Singapore for future vessel 
mobilisations and maintenance as required. 

The recent acquisition of Subcon 
will bring a number of exciting new 
capabilities under our Environmental 
and Stabilisation service offering.

Our safety result for FY2022 is a 
testament to our Target 365 safety 
culture across the organisation.

Health & Safety

Keeping our people safe and healthy 
remains fundamental to how we operate at 
MMA. 

We continue to live our Target 365 
philosophy and believe that a Perfect Day is 
possible 365 days a year. Our safety result 
for FY2022 is a testament to our Target 365 
safety culture across the organisation.

The COVID-19 pandemic presented an 
enormous range of challenges for the 
organisation which I am proud to say our 
people continue to overcome with the 
utmost professionalism and care. 

We continue to implement an appropriate 
level of control measures, protocols 
and procedures to safely continue our 
operations whilst protecting the health 
and welfare of our people and the wider 
community. 

Whilst there was disruption during the year, 
most of our people have now returned to 
work in our office locations, which has been 
positive for wellbeing and team morale. 
We have introduced additional flexibility 
for our teams which is also working well. 
We sincerely appreciate the efforts of our 
people in maintaining the high quality of our 
operations throughout the pandemic.

During FY2022, we improved our safety 
performance with a Total Recordable 
Case Frequency (“TRCF”) per million hours 
worked of 0.28 down from 1.13 at 30 June 
2021 – a significantly better result than 
the marine industry average of 2.0 for our 
cohort as measured by the International 
Marine Contractors Association (“IMCA”). 

Notwithstanding our strong safety 
performance, we operate in a high-risk 
industry and will continue to strive for 
continuous improvement and focus on 
ensuring our people are safe each and 
every day.

Outlook for FY2023

We are seeing positive momentum for 
offshore services with an improved outlook 
for oil and gas and offshore wind services. 
The impacts of COVID-19 also appear to be 
normalising with restrictions now eased in 
most of our operating regions.

We are anticipating the first half of FY2023 
will be stronger than the second half of 
FY2022 and look forward to capitalising on 
the continued upward momentum in the 
industry.

Sustainability Report

Sustainability is at the core of 
MMA’s purpose as an organisation 
and is integral to our overall 
strategy to grow the business 
profitably.

During FY2022, we completed the roll out 
of our purpose across the organisation. 
Our core belief and the key premise 
underpinning our purpose is that 
“marine resources should be developed 
sustainably” and this now drives our 
strategic decisions. The articulation of our 
purpose represents a key cultural shift as 
we transition the business to better reflect 
the changing world we live in. 

Whilst MMA was originally established to 
service the offshore oil and gas sector, our 
marine based skills are transferable to other 
sectors. Whilst oil and gas will continue 
to be an important revenue source as 
the world transitions to renewable energy 
over time, our strategy is to diversify into 
sectors which support the energy transition 
along with other adjacent marine markets. 
MMA is also ideally positioned to support 
the decommissioning of oil and gas 
infrastructure over time. 

In July 2022, we completed the acquisition 
of Subcon which brings some exciting new 
environmental solutions to MMA’s portfolio 
including artificial reefs, coastal erosion 
solutions and wind farm ecology. We look 
forward to growing this part of the business 
under MMA’s ownership.

During FY2022, we made significant 
progress on a number of elements within 
our sustainability strategy including: 

•  Embedding sustainability as a key 
strategic imperative across the 
business through the roll out of our 
purpose;

MMA’s ESG strategy continues to be 
focused on the following key elements: 

•  Further developing and refining our 
emissions reduction strategy;

Environment – how MMA performs as a 
steward of nature. 

Social – how MMA manages its 
relationships with employees, suppliers, 
customers and the community. 

Governance – how MMA is governed. 

MMA is committed to being a good 
corporate citizen and to ongoing 
improvements in our performance across 
all of our sustainability measures.

MMA’s key ESG initiatives are aligned with 
several of the United Nations Sustainable 
Development Goals, which address the key 
challenges currently faced globally. MMA 
is focused on Goals 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13 
and 14 which are the most relevant to our 
operations.

•  Progressed a full technical evaluation of 
the installation of battery technology on 
one of our vessels; 

•  Collaborating on ground-breaking 

research into ammonia as an alternate 
fuel for the marine industry on one of 
our vessels, the MMA Leveque;

•  Significantly improving our safety 

performance;

•  Enhancing our community and 
employee engagement strategy 
through the establishment of a 
corporate volunteering program;

•  Reinforcing our culture of diversity and 
inclusion through several awareness 
and inclusion events;

•  Continuing to foster collaborative 

and respectful relationships with the 
Indigenous communities in which we 
operate; and

•  Significantly enhancing our 

environmental service offering through 
the acquisition of Subcon.

We believe marine 
resources should be 
developed sustainably.

Environmental Management 
System

MMA’s environmental management 
system is certified to ISO 14001: 2015 
“Environmental Management Systems” 
across our global operations. MMA 
maintained environmental certification and 
all licences required during FY2022 and 
had no reportable or adverse environmental 
events.

Environmental Policy 

MMA is committed to growing our business 
in an ecologically sustainable way. To 
support this goal, MMA:

•  Complies with relevant laws and 

regulations and applies responsible 
standards where laws and regulations 
do not exist;

•  Maintains a relentless focus on 

environmental responsibility, risk 
assessment and a culture of mutual 
accountability; 

•  Commits to zero spills across land and 

marine environments; 

•  Encourages all users of MMA’s facilities 
to understand and adhere to MMA’s 
environmental policies and standards; 

•  Monitors environmental performance to 

improve our policies, processes, work 
practices and behaviours promoting a 
cycle of continuous improvement; and 

•  Promotes efficient use of materials and 
resources (including energy, water, raw 
materials and other natural resources) 
through design and operational 
procedures, wherever practicable 
throughout our business.

The MMA Pride operating in Taiwan.

Environmental Management 
Standards 

As an operator in the highly regulated 
global maritime industry, MMA is 
committed to 100% compliance with all 
applicable international regulations and 
conventions to protect the sensitive marine 
environments in which we operate. These 
include: 

• 

International Convention for the 
Prevention of Pollution from Ships 
(MARPOL 73/78);

•  Technical Code on Control of Emission 
of Nitrogen Oxides from Marine Diesel 
Engines;

•  MARPOL Chapter IV – Regulations 
on Energy Efficiency for Ships – 
Collection and Reporting of Ship Fuel 
Consumption Data for >5000GRT 
Vessels; and

• 

International Ballast Water 
Management and Performance 
Standard (D2).

Emissions Reduction

•  A more detailed Emissions Reduction 

Strategy was developed with 
recommendations with regards to 
the timing of setting decarbonisation 
targets, which was approved by MMA’s 
Board of Directors;

•  A comprehensive review of the offshore 
vessel industry’s progress towards 
net zero emissions and the status of 
the various technology options was 
undertaken; and

•  We progressed the technical evaluation 
for the installation of battery technology 
for one of our support vessels.

MMA’s Emissions Reduction Working 
Group, which includes technical, 
operational and management experts from 
across the business meets at bi-monthly 
intervals to establish, pursue and track 
initiatives to reduce emissions within our 
operations.

The following key initiatives are currently 
being pursued:

•  Optimisation of fuel monitoring and 
measuring systems onboard our 
vessels. This is a key step in our fuel 
consumption optimisation program 
providing more accurate data to make 
informed decisions towards fuel use 
optimisation; 

•  Analysis of vessel operational 

modes with a view to reduce fuel 
consumption through operational 
efficiencies. Detailed monitoring of 
fuel consumption against engine 
configuration and operational modes 
will allow MMA to identify and 
implement optimal modes of operation, 
which have the potential to significantly 
reduce fuel consumption and therefore 
emissions;

•  Engagement of crew in reducing 

emissions through ongoing internal 
marketing and incentive campaigns; 
and

The vast majority (96%) of MMA’s emissions 
are generated by the fuel burnt on our 
vessels. 

MMA’s vessels currently operate on marine 
gas oil (MGO) which is a low sulphur fuel 
compared to heavy fuel oil which is used 
elsewhere in the shipping industry. In terms 
of eliminating or materially reducing our 
carbon emissions from marine gas oil, we 
are limited to a large degree by the absence 
of an alternative fuel to power vessels 
at this point in time. Significant research 
into alternative fuels such as ammonia, 
hydrogen and methane is currently being 
undertaken by the industry, however no 
clear alternative has yet been proven. 
MMA’s technology team continues to be at 
the forefront of alternative fuel research and 
has been deeply involved in a project to 
convert one of our platform supply vessels 
to run almost totally on ammonia. 

Given the complexities involved, the 
timeframe for commercialisation of any 
alternative fuel technology is unclear. In the 
meantime, MMA is focusing its efforts on 
a range of operational initiatives to reduce 
the overall fuel burn on our vessels, as well 
as the installation of battery technology 
on vessels where appropriate and 
commercially viable.

During the year, we increased the 
resourcing directed at emissions reduction 
including establishing a new role within 
the vessel management team of Project 
Manager – Strategic Initiatives. We are also 
appointing an Operational Improvement 
Lead within the Vessel Services team 
to drive operational improvements and 
emissions reduction initiatives across the 
fleet. 

MMA progressed its emissions reduction 
strategy during the year as follows:

•  MMA collaborated on a project to gain 
Gas Ready certification for one of our 
platform supply vessels, the MMA 
Leveque. This certification is the first 
step towards certifying the vessel to 
run on ammonia as an alternative fuel. 
The vessel has subsequently been sold 
to Fortescue Future Industries ("FFI") 
and under its new name, “FFI Green 
Pioneer”, will act as a technology 
demonstrator for FFI. MMA continues 
to manage the vessel operationally and 
technically and will assist FFI during the 
conversion;

•  Relaunching our Hull Coatings 
Management Project which will 
continue to look at the investment 
returns (with respect to emissions 
reduction) in hull coating types and 
hull cleaning at regular intervals. MMA 
operates vessels in high hull growth 
locations (such as the tropics), so 
increased monitoring and frequent 
cleaning will reduce fuel consumption 
and hence lower emissions. The 
key to this project will be how to 
accurately capture these costs and 
share these with our customers who 
will mostly benefit from the ensuing fuel 
consumption reduction. This will be 
aided by our above-mentioned work 
on refining and optimising our fuel 
monitoring systems, as these will help 
analyse the savings in fuel consumption 
brought about by the hull initiatives.

Significant work was undertaken during the 
year to determine whether MMA could set 
and announce specific emission reduction 
targets. MMA’s position is to ensure that 
any targets set are realistic and achievable. 
The commercialisation of zero emission 
alternative fuels is a critical factor for 
reducing emissions in the maritime industry, 
however, the timeline for the maturation of 
the required technology, the production 
and supply of these fuels and the supply 
chain to distribute them are all unknown at 
this stage. The potential emissions savings 
they offer cannot therefore yet be defined 
and quantified. MMA stands ready to adopt 
targets when this information becomes 
available and will invest capital in these 
areas when investment outcomes can be 
quantified. In summary, MMA’s approach 
is to actively pursue decarbonisation, but 
to only announce specific targets once 
more information on zero emission fuels 
becomes available.

MMA is committed to 
growing our business 
in an ecologically 
sustainable way.

FY2022 Emissions 

Supporting the Energy Transition 

A key part of MMA’s strategy is to diversify 
our service offering using our skills and 
assets to facilitate the global energy 
transition.

Offshore Wind

During FY2022, we continued to execute 
our strategy to grow our offshore wind 
business. A number of key achievements 
were made during the year including the 
acquisition of 49.9% of Taiwanese survey 
company, Global Aqua Survey Ltd, to form 
a new operating entity in Taiwan – “MMA 
Global Aqua.” With cabotage and local 
ownership becoming increasingly important 
in the Taiwanese market, MMA Global Aqua 
will provide MMA with a local platform from 
which to grow our offshore wind business. 

As a key part of our offshore wind strategy, 
during FY2022 we worked towards 
reflagging the MMA Crystal to carry 
the Taiwanese flag, with the process 
completing in July 2022. This was a 
significant milestone in the development of 
our capability and assets in Taiwan whilst 
simultaneously building a localised supply 
chain. The reflagging followed a substantial 
conversion program conducted on the 
vessel in early 2022, which added a suite of 
new subsea support services to the vessel 
to enhance its capability in supporting 
offshore wind development.

MMA has calculated our emissions for 
our global operations for the financial year 
ended 30 June 2022 with our Scope 1, 
Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions outlined 
below. 

Scope 1 reflects MMA’s direct fuel use and 
associated emissions while our vessels are 
off-hire and fuel is under MMA’s operational 
control. Typically, once MMA’s vessels have 
been contracted, fuel comes under the 
client’s operational control and emissions 
are classified as Scope 3. Vessels used 
in our subsea operations are typically 
classified as Scope 1 under the operational 
control test. 

Fuel burn and total emissions are correlated 
with vessel utilisation, with fuel use 
considerably higher when vessels are at 
work. To facilitate a comparison over time, 
we have used “available vessel days” as a 
normalisation factor to calculate emissions 
intensity for MMA's owned fleet as the fleet 
size and utilisation fluctuates.

During the year, MMA engaged a third-
party consultant to review our emissions 
modelling and calculations. The review 
confirmed that our calculations were 
materially accurate with some minor 
recommendations which have since been 
incorporated into our models.

Emissions for FY2022 increased in line 
with increased utilisation of the vessels 
for the financial year. Whilst a number of 
vessels were sold, these were typically cold 
stacked and not contributing to emissions 
in the prior year. Emissions intensity also 
increased due to increased movement of 
our vessels between locations including 
Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia. 

During FY2022, we supported several 
offshore wind development projects in 
Taiwan with offshore wind representing 9% 
of our total revenue for the year. This was 
down from 16% in FY2021 as a result of 
a number of scopes being delayed due to 
COVID-19 during the year. 

We recently secured our first offshore 
wind survey scope in South Korea with 
operations to commence in FY2023. This is 
an exciting development for the Company, 
opening up a new area of operation with 
significant forecast activity.

Marinus Link

During the year, MMA was proud to play 
a key role in supporting the Marinus Link 
project, a 1,500MW capacity undersea 
and underground electricity connection 
between Tasmania and Victoria. Marinus 
Link is set to play a critical role in unlocking 
Tasmania’s renewable energy and storage 
resources to deliver low-cost, reliable and 
clean energy for customers in the National 
Electricity Market. Marinus Link is a key 
project facilitating Australia’s transition 
towards renewable energy and is expected 
to cut at least 140 million tonnes of CO2 
equivalent by 2050, the equivalent of 
removing more than a million combustion 
engine cars from our roads.

During the year, MMA’s subsea team 
successfully completed the marine 
engineering field campaign to assist with a 
cable route feasibility assessment for the 
Marinus Link project.

Supporting Healthy Oceans

As a marine services company, MMA 
is passionate about conserving and 
protecting the oceans on which we 
operate. In addition to our ongoing 
commitment to preventing marine pollution, 
the recent acquisition of Subcon is an 
exciting development in that it enables us to 
make a much more significant contribution 
to supporting healthy oceans.

Reefs

Subcon are accomplished pioneers of 
engineered reef solutions with over 30 
large scale reef projects delivered globally 
to date. Subcon’s unique engineered reefs 
increase fish life by six times and receive 
positive engagement from tourists and 
stakeholders. 

Through its engineered reefs, Subcon 
has delivered habitat solutions for 
fisheries enhancement, reef restoration, 
coastal erosion control, offshore wind, 
decommissioning of oil and gas structures, 
tourism and living harbour solutions. 

During FY2022, Subcon completed a 
number of key projects supporting healthy 
oceans.

Coastal Erosion Prevention –  
C.Y. O’Connor Beach

Tourism and Marine Habitat Creation – 
Wonder Reef

Subcon recently completed the installation 
of 135 wave attenuating reef modules 
off C.Y. O’Connor Beach situated along 
the coastline of Perth, Western Australia. 
The beach has historically experienced 
significant coastal erosion issues, with the 
shoreline eroding by more than 50 metres 
over the past 20 years. The installed reef 
modules will help reduce energy from 
ocean swell allowing coastal sand to fall 
out of suspension and settle along the 
coastline. The reefs will double as a local 
tourism drawcard as the modules become 
colonised by marine flora and fauna. 

In 2019, a similar, larger scale reef was 
installed by Subcon at Mon Choisy Beach 
in Mauritius supported by the United 
Nations Development Program, which 
has seen excellent results in reducing the 
impacts of coastal erosion to date.

The C.Y. O’Connor project will be monitored 
over a three-year period by the University 
of Western Australia to gauge the success 
of coastal erosion mitigation and will serve 
as a valuable example for national and 
international government and commercial 
organisations.

We see Subcon’s attenuating reefs as a 
potential scalable solution to combat the 
erosion of our coastlines globally as a 
result of rising sea levels and more frequent 
extreme weather events as a result of 
climate change.

Subcon was instrumental in the design, 
engineering and installation of the Wonder 
Reef on Australia’s Gold Coast which was 
opened to the public for dive tourism in 
June 2022.

Recently featured in Australian Geographic, 
Wonder Reef is the world’s first buoyant 
reef consisting of nine enormous, 
sculptured reefs suspended 22 metres 
above the sea floor emulating a giant kelp 
forest. 

Using innovative technology, the sculptural 
reef modules (designed by artist David 
Templeman) were engineered by Subcon 
to withstand cyclones and wave heights of 
over 18 metres. Made from uncoated steel 
to maximise marine growth, the structure 
is protected from corrosion by anodes. 
The reef has been purposely designed 
to attract and sustain a variety of marine 
life with significant environmental benefits 
expected from the addition of 32,000 cubic 
metres of new reef habitat on a previously 
bare seabed. Less than 12 months after 
its installation, the Wonder Reef is already 
hosting over 100 fish species. 

With declining fish stocks and coral reefs 
under threat, artificial reefs such as the 
Wonder Reef have an important role to 
play and we look forward to leveraging 
our experience at Wonder Reef on future 
projects of this nature. 

Subcon Acquisition

In June 2022, MMA entered into an agreement to acquire Subcon, a leading 
provider of innovative stabilisation, coastal erosion and engineered reef solutions 
in Australia and internationally. The acquisition brings an exciting new suite of 
marine environmental services to MMA. 

Subcon’s motto is “enabling ocean communities to thrive” and it was this 
passion about being on the right side of history, enhancing ecosystems and 
economies to enable thriving marine habitats that was a key factor in MMA’s 
decision to acquire the business.

We completed the acquisition in July 2022, with the business set to be integrated 
into MMA to form our Environmental and Stabilisation service offering.

Employee Health and Safety

Social

At MMA, protecting the health, safety and 
wellbeing of our people is fundamental to 
how we do business and is ingrained in our 
Target 365 culture which aims for ‘a Perfect 
Day, Every Day.’

Underpinning our strong health and safety 
performance was the delivery of a number 
of key initiatives during the year, including:

•  Development of an updated Target 365 

leadership approach;

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the 
health, safety and wellbeing of our people, 
alongside that of our business partners 
remains our primary focus. We have been 
committed to stopping the virus from 
reaching our sites, ensuring business 
continuity so that our employees and 
business partners can safely work in a 
reduced risk environment.

In FY2022, our Total Recordable Case 
Frequency (“TRCF”) performance improved 
from 1.13 the previous year to 0.28 (per 
million hours worked). We recorded one 
medical treatment case which was from 
a low-risk maintenance activity. Our 
safety performance has been assessed 
against our cohort of International Marine 
Contractors Association ("IMCA") members, 
placing MMA within the top quartile. 

•  A complete review of critical 

operational risks; and

•  Leadership engagement coaching 

sessions for senior management.

With 100% implementation of safety key 
performance indicators (KPIs) during the 
year, our safety leadership team has been 
instrumental in championing our Target 365 
program which has resulted in a reduction 
of injury and non-injurious events. 

We also use our internal measure of 
‘Perfect Days’ to measure our safety 
performance. As the key metric of our 
Target 365 program, we continually strive 
for ‘a Perfect Day, Every Day’ with a perfect 
day being a day free of recordable injuries 
or material incidents. In FY2022, we 
achieved 344 (94%) perfect days – a 6% 
improvement on the previous year. 

We continually strive for improvements to 
both leading and lagging measures in order 
to achieve our Target 365 goal. We also 
regularly conduct intervention and proactive 
campaigns to address performance and 
will continue to support our staff and 
contractors in preventing injury and illness.

At MMA, one of the key pillars of our 
Innovation Program is sustainability. 

We continue to focus our efforts in 
developing new ways of working around 
the challenge of developing the marine 
resources industry more sustainably.

We are working on internally generated 
ideas as well as co-developing innovation 
at an industry level. 

Internal Initiatives

Internally, MMA focuses its efforts around 
solving the key challenges that our clients 
face. We are currently exploring concepts 
around reducing offshore personnel and 
enabling new ways of conducting offshore 
inspections remotely, reducing the need 
for travel. 

3D Printing Pilot Program 

Through our partnership with Wilhelmsen 
and thyssenkrupp, MMA successfully 
printed a seawater pump impellor using 
3D technology. This successful use case 
has laid the groundwork and learnings 
to expand the program with the goal of 
reducing spare part holding costs and lead 
times whilst reducing the carbon footprint 
by reducing logistics requirements through 
localised printing.

MMA is excited to be involved in this 
innovation which has the potential to 
significantly improve the supply chain for 
marine parts, making it more efficient and 
sustainable.

As part of our commitment to supporting 
healthy oceans, MMA has a robust suite of 
policies and procedures in place to ensure 
that we do not inadvertently pollute the 
precious marine environments in which we 
operate. 

MMA complies with regulatory 
requirements and international conventions 
across all of its vessels and facilities 
including:

• 

• 

• 

International Convention for the Control 
and Management of Ships’ Ballast 
Water and Sediments;

International Convention for the Control 
of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on 
Ships; 

International Maritime Dangerous 
Goods Code (IMDG Code); and 

•  The Hong Kong International 
Convention for the Safe and 
Environmental Recycling of Ships. 

MMA has established a Waste 
Management Working Group to identify 
and implement waste reduction and waste 
management initiatives across our global 
operations.

Initiatives in place include:

•  Elimination of single use water bottles 

onboard MMA vessels by 2024;

•  Waste segregation onboard vessels 
and in all shore-based facilities; and

•  Use of recycled paper with a drive to 
increase digital automation to reduce 
paper use.

Initiatives under investigation include:

•  E-Waste recycling initiatives and 

options;

•  Reduction in ballast waste through 

improved treatment and segregation 
systems; and

• 

Improved accessibility to waste paper 
recycling.

Protecting the health, safety 
and wellbeing of our people is 
fundamental to how we do business.

During FY2022, we continued to undertake 
improvements in our HSEQ systems and 
processes. Highlights for the year included: 

•  Target 365 Leadership Sessions across 
the business. The sessions highlighted 
our strengths and opportunities to 
improve our approach to achieving our 
‘Perfect Day, Every Day’ aspiration; 

•  Senior Management engagement 
with front line crews and projects. 
Senior management attended project 
mobilisations, undertook vessel 
voyages and spent time in operations 
to gain a greater appreciation of 
frontline operations and provide 
support to achieve Target 365; 

•  Mental health and wellbeing promotion 
to better understand what is important 
to our workforce;

•  A major campaign which focused on 

hand safety and the impacts of what a 
permanent hand injury would have on 
family and quality of life; 

•  Vessel safety case management in 

both Australia and Brunei; 

•  Document of Compliance attainment 
with the Republic of China Flag State 
(Taiwan); and

•  Comprehensive internal assurance 
programme review to ensure our 
controls are adequately robust 
to prevent incidents, protect the 
environment and maintain our licence 
to operate. 

During FY2022, we restructured our HSEQ 
executive leadership role to include risk. 
This provides a strengthened approach to 
how MMA manages the HSEQ, compliance 
and risk functions across our business 
units. 

MMA was again active in contributing to the 
improvement of HSEQ management across 
our industry. MMA’s Managing Director, 
Mr David Ross, was the Co-Chair of the 
Marine Working Group of Safer Together 
(Western Australia and Northern Territory) 
and was a member of the Safer Together 
Safety Leaders Group. MMA’s Executive 
General Manager Risk is also a member of 
the IMCA Asia Pacific Committee. 

Employee Wellbeing

At MMA, we are committed to fostering a 
diverse, engaging and high-performance 
workplace that supports individual 
employees’ wellbeing and their journey 
towards realising their full potential. 

We aim to provide a healthy, safe and 
inclusive workplace, free from harassment 
and bullying. We foster an environment 
where all our people feel safe to speak up, 
and treat each other fairly, respectfully and 
with dignity. 

MMA has several mechanisms in place to 
foster employee wellbeing, including:

•  A culture of inclusive communication to 
foster employee engagement including 
regular Managing Director town hall 
meetings, lunch and learn sessions and 
company news updates;

•  A calendar of regular employee 

engagement events providing 
opportunities to foster social 
connections and a sense of belonging. 
During FY2022, we also established 
a volunteering program providing our 
people with opportunities to give back 
to the community or participate in 
charity and community events;

•  Specific wellbeing initiatives including 
a “Mindful at MMA” photo competition 
which was conducted during the year 
to promote mindfulness and wellbeing 
across our seagoing and office-based 
staff;

•  Flexible working arrangements 
to facilitate personal and family 
commitments including recently 
formalising a Working from Home 
policy for office-based staff;

•  Generous parental support 

and flexibility on return-to-work 
arrangements to facilitate ongoing 
participation;

•  A Mental Health Policy enabling staff 

to use personal leave for mental health 
reasons; and

•  An employee assistance program 
which provides counselling and 
wellbeing resources to staff globally 
24/7.

Crew Engagement

MMA recognises the importance of 
regularly engaging with our vessel crew 
who due to the nature of their work at 
sea, have limited opportunity to engage 
with the business. In April 2022, we held 
a conference in Perth, Western Australia 
with several of MMA’s vessel masters, 
chief engineers and integrated ratings 
in attendance. Delivered by members of 
MMA’s senior and executive leadership 
teams, the event was an opportunity 
to discuss a range of key topics as well 
as a valuable face-to-face networking 
opportunity following a lengthy period 
of interstate travel restrictions due to 
COVID-19.

Training & Development 

Employee Training

MMA recognises that providing our people 
with opportunities for training is key to their 
career and individual development.

A total of 1,116 MMA employees accessed 
training over the course of FY2022, 
completing a total of 9,186 individual 
training outcomes. The ongoing skilling 
and competency of our workforce ensures 
we are able to meet complex business 
challenges for our clients in the future, 
whilst developing our people to enhance 
their career progression. 

Industry Scholarships

MMA is proud to support the development 
of the next generation of hydrographic 
surveyors through the launch of the 
MMA Offshore Hydrographic Surveying 
Scholarship in conjunction with Curtin 
University in February 2022.

The scholarship provides Bachelor of 
Surveying (Honours) students in their final 
year of study at Curtin University with 
a monetary contribution towards their 
educational related expenses as well as 
the potential for vacation work, offering 
a hands-on and immersive experience 
alongside MMA’s team of experienced 
surveyors. The scholarship also provides 
students with the potential for employment 
with MMA post-graduation.

With a shortage of skilled hydrographic 
surveyors in Australia, providing support 
and real-world experience to students is 
critical to the development of Australia’s 
hydrographic surveying industry. 

Diversity & Inclusion 

With over 1,100 employees located around 
the world, MMA is proud to be a highly 
culturally diverse organisation. 

To assist with promoting our objective to 
facilitate greater diversity and inclusion 
at all levels within the Company, we have 
a Diversity and Inclusion Committee 
responsible for establishing and monitoring 
strategies on promoting and maintaining 
diversity and inclusion.

We also regularly review our remuneration 
practices to ensure equality.

Diversity Measurable Objectives 

Diwali

Annually, MMA develops a set of Diversity 
Measurable Objectives, including 
targets for female participation in senior 
management positions.

Pleasingly, MMA’s percentage of women 
employed at an executive leadership level 
increased to 33.3% in FY2022, compared 
to 16.7% in FY2021. We are also pleased to 
maintain a diverse Board of Directors with 
33.3% female Board representation. 

We are still targeting 30% female 
representation at the senior management 
level but recognise that this may take 
longer to achieve given the traditionally 
male dominated nature of the offshore 
marine and subsea industries. We have 
extended our timeframe to achieve 30% 
out to June 2025 and have set a new 
target to increase the number of females 
in technical positions to a minimum of 10% 
by June 2025 which we hope will improve 
the pipeline of internal candidates for senior 
management positions which often require 
a technical background. 

Diversity Events 

Promoting awareness and inclusion is the 
second key focus of MMA’s Diversity and 
Inclusion Committee. Our formal events 
program has been in place since 2020 
and has been an incredibly successful 
component of MMA’s Diversity and 
Inclusion strategy, fostering a greater 
appreciation and understanding of the 
cultures and backgrounds of our people as 
well as diversity issues more broadly.

During FY2022, MMA employees came 
together to recognise a range of events 
including Diwali, Lunar New Year, 
International Women’s Day, Ramadan,  
Eid al-Fitr, the International Day for Women 
in Maritime, Reconciliation Week and 
NAIDOC Week. 

28        MMA Offshore Limited  |  Annual Report 2022

MMA celebrated the Hindu holiday of Diwali 
during November 2021, with our Diversity 
and Inclusion Committee recognising the 
week-long event and providing a selection 
of traditional ‘mithai’ sweets to staff. One 
of our staff members, who has since joined 
the Diversity and Inclusion Committee, 
shared his lived experience of Diwali and 
the significance of the holiday in Hindu 
culture. We also shared information on the 
commonly practiced traditions of Diwali 
through our internal communications 
channels, which was well-received by staff 
across our global locations.

Lunar New Year

Our Perth office celebrated the Lunar New 
Year in February 2022, decorating the office 
with a number of customary decorations 
and serving a traditional morning tea 
for staff. Local COVID-19 restrictions 
unfortunately affected our ability to host 
our annual celebration at our Singapore 
office, however our team was able to gather 
later in April once restrictions had lifted to 
celebrate the opening of our new Singapore 
office location.

International Women’s Day

In celebration of International Women’s Day, 
MMA's Diversity and Inclusion Committee 
shared a live-streamed presentation 
across MMA’s global offices on the 2022 
theme "Break the Bias" and the conscious 
and unconscious biases that can occur 
within a workplace environment. MMA 
Non-Executive Director, Sue Murphy, 
also shared an insight into her 40 years 
of experience in the resources and 
infrastructure industries and her early 
experiences working in male-dominated 
work sites as a civil engineer. 

MMA also sponsored 10 employees 
to attend the Perth Business News 
International Women’s Day event, where the 
team heard from prominent gender equality 
advocates in the Western Australian 
business community.

Ramadan & Eid al-Fitr

Throughout April and May 2022, MMA’s 
Diversity and Inclusion Committee 
recognised the Muslim tradition of 
Ramadan, and produced a short film 
featuring three onshore and offshore staff 
members who shared unique insights into 
their personal traditions undertaken during 
Ramadan. At the completion of Ramadan, 
MMA also came together to celebrate Eid 
al-Fitr, with celebratory staff lunches held at 
our Perth and Singapore head offices. 

International Day for Women in 
Maritime

On 18 May, MMA celebrated the inaugural 
International Maritime Organization ("IMO") 
event, the International Day for Women 
in Maritime. In support of the day, MMA 
sponsored 10 staff members to attend the 
inaugural WA Women in Maritime panel and 
networking event held in Fremantle, and 
provided resources to staff, highlighting 
past news stories about MMA women in 
maritime. 

MMA is committed 
to supporting the 
communities in 
which we operate.

Reconciliation Week

Community Support

Christmas Food Donation Drives 

From 27 May to 3 June, MMA recognised 
Reconciliation Week by sharing dedicated 
resources on our global internal news 
channels and encouraging our Perth-
based staff to participate in a number of 
locally held events. Our Perth staff also 
joined members of the Western Australian 
community on Whadjuk Noongar Boodjar 
for the Walk for Reconciliation, where we 
journeyed through Kaarta Koomba (Kings 
Park) and reflected on Australia’s ongoing 
journey towards reconciliation. 

NAIDOC Week

MMA recently acknowledged and 
celebrated NAIDOC Week, with our 
teams around the world embracing the 
opportunity to gain a greater understanding 
of First Nations cultures and histories. 
MMA’s Diversity and Inclusion Committee 
unveiled an Acknowledgement of Country 
plaque at our Perth office, designed and 
produced by local Noongar artist, Jarni 
McGuire. During the week, the Committee 
also led a live-streamed presentation for 
all staff sharing the experiences of MMA’s 
survey team in collaborating with Traditional 
Owner groups across Australia. Our 
Perth team also enjoyed a special native 
food-inspired morning tea supplied by an 
Indigenous Australian-owned business. We 
also provided comprehensive resources to 
staff to encourage greater awareness and 
understanding amongst our people and 
provided resources on how to deliver an 
Acknowledgement of Country at meetings. 
At the completion of July, we also raised 
funds for the Polly Farmer Foundation at 
our monthly charity morning tea.

MMA is committed to supporting the 
communities in which we operate by 
making positive contributions and creating 
mutual opportunities to support economic 
growth and social wellbeing. 

During FY2022, MMA and its employees 
raised over $14,000 for local charities 
and not-for-profit organisations. We also 
commenced the rollout of our corporate 
volunteering program in which MMA’s Perth 
based employees participated in a number 
of philanthropic activities totalling 125 hours 
volunteered. Feedback on the program to 
date has been very positive with our staff 
appreciating the opportunity to get together 
with colleagues from across the business 
to give back to the community.

MSWA Ocean Ride

In November 2021, 16 MMA cyclists 
participated in the MSWA Ocean Ride 
in Perth, collectively cycling 1,300km 
in support of Western Australians with 
neurological conditions. MMA raised a 
total of $7,639 for MSWA, placing us in fifth 
place on the overall team fundraising leader 
board.

Salvation Army Christmas Support

To assist the Western Australian Salvation 
Army branch, MMA team members 
from our Perth office volunteered during 
November 2021 to help pack and prepare 
Christmas presents to be dispatched to the 
remote far-north Indigenous community of 
Warmun. During December 2021, members 
from our Perth office also spent a morning 
volunteering at the Salvation Army’s 
Northbridge branch, preparing a cooked 
lunch for community members in need.

MMA team members in Perth and 
Aberdeen provided much-needed food 
donations to local families throughout 
December 2021 in MMA’s annual Christmas 
Food Donation Drive. Contributed by MMA 
staff, food donations were provided to 
Foodbank WA, as well as Aberdeen families 
in need throughout winter.

Beach Clean Ups 

During May 2022, members of MMA’s 
Perth team joined Conservation Volunteers 
Australia in a beach clean-up event at 
Cottesloe Beach. Our team removed both 
large litter items and smaller microplastics 
from the shore, working together with the 
community to preserve the natural marine 
environment.

Foodbank Volunteering

In May 2022, teams from MMA’s Perth 
office volunteered during a morning at 
Foodbank WA to sort, pack and prepare 
hampers containing essential food and 
household goods to be distributed to 
Western Australian families in need.

Charity Morning Teas

During FY2022, MMA’s Perth office held 
its inaugural monthly morning tea in 
order to raise donations for employee-
nominated charitable organisations, with 
MMA matching all amounts raised. Since 
the first event in 2021, MMA and our staff 
have raised over $4,600 for charities and 
organisations such as the Cancer Council, 
Movember and UN Women Australia.

Target 365 Rewards

Through MMA’s Target 365 safety initiative, 
MMA runs a rewards programme whereby 
business units that achieve exceptional 
safety performance are given the opportunity 
to donate monetary rewards to registered 
charities. In FY2022, a number of MMA 
vessels nominated to donate their Target 365 
rewards to charities including the Starlight 
Children’s Foundation and Northern Territory 
anti-bullying charity, the Dolly’s Dream 
Foundation.

Blood Donation Drives

In November 2021, MMA’s Batam team and 
their subcontractors participated in a local 
blood donation drive in a collaborative effort 
between the Batam Shipyard and Offshore 
Association (BSOA) and the Indonesian 
Red Cross Society. Members of MMA’s 
Perth team also registered a regular blood 
donation team with the Australian Red Cross 
during FY2022, providing critical life-saving 
resources to their local community.

Indigenous Engagement

MMA is committed to establishing 
and fostering long-term relationships 
and partnerships with the Indigenous 
communities in which we operate.

Indigenous Training Programs 

MMA continues to provide training 
opportunities to Indigenous trainees and 
Timor-Leste nationals in Able Seaman roles. 

Indigenous trainees are engaged on our 
modern PSV vessels operating out of Darwin 
and Broome. Candidates complete face-to-
face training within the TAFE system, then go 
on to complete qualifying sea time, gaining 
critical work skills and experience over a 
period of 16 months. 

Over the past four years, MMA has worked 
closely with our partners in Dili, Timor Leste 
to provide Able Seafarer trainee positions 
within our international fleet. 12 individuals 
have been provided the opportunity to gain 
an Able Seafarer Certificate of Competency, 
with sea time being completed on several of 
the Company’s PSV and AHTS vessels. 

Traditional Owner Engagement 

During FY2022, MMA was contracted by the Australian 
Government Department of Defence through the 
HydroScheme Industry Partnership Program ("HIPP") to 
undertake a hydrographic survey of Camden Sound, located 
in the Bonaparte Archipelago in Western Australia.

Having established a strong working relationship with 
the Dambimangari People during a previous survey work 
scope completed in FY2021, MMA again consulted the 
Dambimangari Aboriginal Corporation (Traditional Owners) 
in Derby to access the survey area and obtain the required 
permits to survey the region. Two Traditional Owners also 
joined the survey team during geodetic activities on Heywood 
Island, Degerando Island, Booby Island, Vulcan Island and 
Wailgwin Island. A Traditional Owner was also present 
during offshore hydrographic survey activities, with a total 
of nine Traditional Owners engaged offshore. As part of a 
Commonwealth Marine Parks Permit to operate in the area, 
Marine Mammal Observers (MMO) were required onboard the 
survey vessels. MMA engaged Blue Planet Marine to provide 
MMO training to members of the Dambimangari Community, 
who formed part of the offshore team undertaking MMO 
responsibilities. 

During a second project for the Australian Government 
Department of Defence, MMA was contracted to undertake 
a bathymetric survey of Cape Barren to Babel Island located 
off the east coast of Tasmania. Through early engagement 
and effective stakeholder management, MMA successfully 
sought permission from the team at the Tasmanian Aboriginal 
Centre in order to access and perform works at the culturally 
significant site of Babel Island.

Through the completion of the project, MMA also sourced and 
enrolled two new Indigenous enterprises into the Company’s 
supply chain (Marlu Resources Fabrication and Bunbara 
Logistics). We also achieved our Australian Industry Capability 
target of mirroring the Department of Defence’s own target 
of allocating 1.5% of procurement spend with Indigenous 
enterprises. These enterprises are now registered vendors in 
MMA’s approved vendor register and are able to be engaged 
by the wider MMA group.

Governance

MMA believes that high standards 
of corporate governance are 
paramount for sustainable long-
term performance and value 
creation.  

MMA complies with the 4th Edition of 
the Australian Securities Exchange’s 
Corporate Governance Council’s 
Corporate Governance Principles and 
Recommendations (4th Edition ASX 
Recommendations).

Code of Conduct

MMA has in place a Code of Conduct for 
its Directors, Senior Management and 
employees and places a strong focus on 
working legally, ethically and safely. 

We are currently in the process of 
refreshing and updating the Code 
of Conduct to incorporate our newly 
articulated purpose, principles and 
behaviours charter. The Code of Conduct 
will be re-launched to the business and 
used as an opportunity to engage with our 
workforce on this important topic.

We encourage the reporting of unlawful 
and unethical behaviour, actively promote 
and monitor compliance with the Code 
of Conduct and protect those who report 
breaches in good faith. 

Under MMA’s Group Whistleblower Policy, 
whistleblowers are protected from any 
disadvantage, prejudice or victimisation for 
reporting any breaches of the Policy or the 
Corporations Act. 

Anti-Bribery & Corruption

We have a zero-tolerance approach 
towards bribery and corrupt conduct. MMA 
and its personnel will not engage in any 
form of bribery or other corrupt conduct. 
The Company has an Anti-Bribery and Anti-
Corruption Policy for preventing the offering 
or acceptance of bribes and other unlawful 
or unethical payments or inducements. 
MMA had no known incidents of bribery or 
corruption during FY2022. 

Further details of the Company’s Corporate 
Governance Policies are available on 
the Corporate Governance page of our 
website. 

Modern Slavery 

MMA’s commitment to human rights is 
supported by policies and processes that 
mitigate the risks of slavery and human 
trafficking within our own operations and in 
our supply chain.

MMA assesses the risk of modern slavery 
occurring within our own operations to be 
extremely low.

All our seafarers are employed in line with 
Australian and international labour laws 
including the Maritime Labour Convention 
(“MLC”), the International Labour 
Organisation (“ILO”) and various flag state 
requirements which stipulate the rights and 
benefits of seafarers.

Our onshore personnel are engaged by 
way of common law contract or enterprise 
agreements which are underpinned by 
labour laws and minimum standards in the 
country of employment.

Within our supply chain, MMA conducts 
extensive third-party due diligence on 
prospective suppliers and contractors 
and requires that new vendors abide by 
the Modern Slavery Act and UN Global 
Compact Principles. MMA’s Standard 
Procurement Terms and Conditions also 
require all contractors and suppliers to 
comply with modern slavery legislation. 
Where third party terms and conditions are 
used, MMA will also endeavour to include 
similar provisions into its contracts. 

MMA’s processes and procedures include 
a range of audits and inspections which 
seek to ensure that all statutory and internal 
compliance requirements are met. Through 
the above, MMA is able to ensure that 
any potential modern slavery practice or 
risk is identified, assessed and actioned 
appropriately. 

MMA’s 2022 Modern Slavery Statement 
can be found on the Australian 
Government’s Modern Slavery Register at 
modernslaveryregister.gov.au.

Risk

MMA recognises that risk is an 
inherent part of its business. 
Effectively identifying and 
managing risk is critical to MMA’s 
success.

MMA’s Integrated Business Management 
System (IBMS) documents the risk 
management framework MMA applies to 
ensure that a comprehensive approach 
to the identification, assessment and 
treatment of risk is applied. The risk 
framework is aligned to ISO 31000 
(2018), the international standard for risk 
management.

This section describes (in no order of 
significance) the material risks that have 
been identified and are being managed for 
the Company to deliver on its objectives. 
It is not intended to be all encompassing, 
nor is any of the information intended to 
be taken as a statement of fact. These 
risks can be affected by a variety of factors 
which can, in turn, impact the Company’s 
performance.

COVID-19

MMA continues to manage the impacts 
of COVID-19 as the industry transitions 
to a phase of operating in a world with 
COVID-19 and as such has control 
measures in place to minimise disruption as 
a result of COVID-19 cases.

At the industry level, COVID-19 continues to 
impact supply chain activities and current 
work scopes through:

•  Border closures and quarantine 

restrictions affecting the movement of 
our vessels, their crews and equipment 
and spares to and from our vessels. 

•  Additional cost of protecting and 
quarantining personnel; and

•  Working from home and other 
Government restrictions.

Dependence on Level of Activity in 
the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry

The Company is dependent on the level of 
activity in the offshore oil and gas industry.

The level of activity in offshore industries 
may vary and be affected by, amongst 
other things, prevailing or predicted future 
oil and gas prices and macro conditions.

A number of other factors also affect the 
offshore oil and gas industry, including 
economic growth, energy demand, the 
transition to renewable energy, the cost 
and availability of other energy sources 
and changes in energy technology and 
regulation. There can be no assurance 
that the current levels of offshore industry 
activity will be maintained or increased in 
the future or that offshore companies will 
not further reduce their offshore activities 
and capital expenditure. Any prolonged 
period of low offshore activity or demand or 
changes in energy technology will have an 
adverse effect on MMA’s business.

The Company aims to mitigate the impact 
of lower offshore investment and lower 
offshore activity by:

•  Diversifying its service offering into 
alternative market sectors such as 
offshore wind, government services 
and other new marine markets;

•  Differentiating itself though innovation 

and operational excellence;

•  Expanding its service offering to 

include subsea and project logistics 
services;

•  Warm-stacking vessels to minimise 

holding costs for vessels between 
contracts;

•  Providing an integrated marine and 

subsea service to clients;

•  Expanding its service offering into the 
growing offshore wind sector; and

•  Differentiating itself from its competitors 

through operational excellence, 
proactive and innovative solutions, 
long-term customer relationships and 
responsive account management.

Operational Risks 

The Company’s operations are subject 
to various risks inherent in servicing the 
offshore energy and wider marine industry. 
Our international operations broaden our 
risk exposure in terms of both opportunities 
and threats.

Operational risks include (but are not 
limited to): 

•  Health and safety incidents; 

•  Epidemics/pandemics;

•  Quarantine risks;

•  Diversifying its contract portfolio 

•  Mental health risks;

across the exploration, construction 
and production phases and by 
providing maintenance/repair and 
decommissioning services; and

•  Diversifying its geographic footprint 
across several key regional areas.

Competition, Vessel Oversupply 
and Fleet Composition 
Misalignment with Market Demand 

Demand for MMA’s vessels is also affected 
by the number of vessels available in the 
market and the competitive landscape.

Any misalignment between vessel supply 
and demand can lead to an increase in 
competition which can adversely impact 
vessel utilisation, rates and contract terms, 
thereby impacting MMA’s earnings and 
profitability and increasing its risk exposure.

MMA seeks to manage this risk by:

•  Having a clear strategic plan, including 
an ongoing review of its asset mix and 
capability to meet market demand; 

•  Focusing on regional strategies to 

position itself in the most advantageous 
areas to operate, both in terms of 
demand and clients, and in emerging 
markets;

•  Outbreak of COVID-19 on board 
vessel(s) or an on-shore site;

•  Loss of key customers/contracts;

•  Failure by customers to pay for services 

contracted and/or performed;

•  Redeployment costs of assets that 

are unable to be used in their current 
geography for a period of time;

•  Equipment damage, technical failures 

or human error; 

• 

Industrial unrest; 

•  Capsizing, sinking, grounding, 

collisions, fires and explosions, piracy, 
vessel seizures or arrests and acts of 
terrorism; 

•  Environmental pollution/contamination 

and other related accidents; 

•  Regulatory and legislative non-

compliance; 

•  Cyber security attacks;

•  Kidnap and ransom; 

•  Fraud and theft;

• 

Increases in input costs;

•  Loss of key personnel; and

•  Contractual assumptions of risk. 

Cyber Security

MMA utilises sophisticated information 
technology to deliver high-quality services, 
interfaced with third-party information 
technology systems. Instances of cyber 
attacks have the potential to cause 
disruption and/or financial and reputational 
damage to the Company.

MMA has implemented a comprehensive 
Information and Security Management 
System to proactively identify, monitor, 
mitigate and monitor information security 
vulnerabilities, threats and risks in order to 
protect MMA, its employees, customers, 
assets and data.

The Company cyber response is governed 
by an Information and Communications 
Technology (ICT) Steering Committee 
which compromises ICT experts, access 
to external expertise and Executive 
Management representatives.

Climate Change

The energy transition is impacting 
MMA’s traditional oil and gas markets 
and customers as the world moves to 
renewable energy sources.  Alternate 
marine fuel technology, which is still under 
investigation, will also affect MMA’s fleet 
when the technology is developed and 
marine assets transition to lower emissions 
fuel sources.

MMA views the energy transition as both 
a risk and an opportunity. MMA has 
diversified its service offering into the 
rapidly growing offshore wind market in 
order to support the energy transition. 
MMA is also collaborating on research 
into alternate fuel technologies to power 
existing and future assets. Sustainability is 
a key strategic business imperative led by 
an Executive Management team member 
and reporting to the Board of Directors.

Potential consequences associated with 
these risks include the loss of human life 
or serious injury, pollution, environmental 
damage, significant damage to or loss of 
assets and equipment, business disruption, 
client dissatisfaction, loss of contracts, 
damage to our reputation and legal and 
regulatory action, including fines.

This could expose MMA to significant 
liabilities, a loss of utilisation, revenue and/
or the incurrence of additional costs and 
therefore may have a materially adverse 
impact on the Company’s financial position 
and profitability.

We employ a number of well-executed 
controls to manage these risks, including, 
but not limited to, appropriate insurance 
coverage, hazard and risk management 
processes, crisis management processes, 
certified health safety and quality systems 
and audits, information and security 
management systems and mitigation 
strategies, planned maintenance 
programmes, compliance programmes, 
tender and contract management 
processes, access to in-house and 
external legal expertise, industrial relations 
strategies, emergency preparedness and 
contingency plans, preferred supplier and 
subcontractor processes, counterparty risk 
assessments and a host of engineering and 
operational controls.

Geopolitical, Government and 
Regulatory Factors 

Our international operations are subject 
to challenging geopolitical risks in varying 
degrees.

Changes in the geopolitical climate in 
our market areas, such as the outbreak 
or resolution of war, nationalisation of 
a customer’s oil and gas projects and 
changes to industry related legislation, 
protectionist measures, economic 
sanctions and border closures or 
restrictions (due to COVID-19) may open 
up more advantageous areas to operate or 
could require us to discontinue operating in 
that area, leading to corresponding impacts 
on vessel and service utilisation. As MMA’s 
operations have expanded into the offshore 
wind sector in Taiwan, we continue to 
monitor the geopolitical situation there and 
official advice issued by governments and 
marine risk insurers (including the Joint War 
Committee).

MMA may face restrictions on its ability 
to win work in certain countries due 
to changing cabotage regulations or 
COVID-19 controls and may be required 
to form joint ventures in some countries in 
order to access the local offshore oil and 
gas markets. Joint ventures may introduce 
a higher level of operational, financial 
and counterparty risk. The prevalence of 
bribery and/or corruption in some foreign 
jurisdictions also limits MMA’s ability to 
operate in these areas.

MMA’s strategic plan considers such 
risks and operationally we risk assess 
market areas and clients regularly to limit 
negative and optimise positive impacts. 
A comprehensive Anti-bribery and 
Corruption Policy, Code of Conduct and 
Group Whistle-blower Policy have been 
implemented and are continually monitored 
to try and combat these risks.

Debt Refinancing and  
Covenant breaches

Any material reduction in profitability may 
increase the risk of the Company failing to 
comply with the covenants associated with 
its Banking Facility or on the Company’s 
ability to refinance at the end of facility term 
in January 2025.

MMA seeks to manage these risks through 
proactively engaging with its lenders and 
the wider debt markets as well as actively 
monitoring earnings and cash flows to 
forecast covenant compliance.

Foreign Exchange 

The majority of MMA’s revenues are paid 
in either Australian or US Dollars and the 
Company’s operating costs are primarily 
denominated in a combination of Australian, 
Singaporean and US Dollars, providing a 
natural hedge for our activities. MMA also 
has a combination of Australian Dollar and 
US Dollar debt. Adverse movements in 
these currencies may result in a negative 
impact on MMA’s earnings. 

MMA’s treasury policy and contract 
management processes further mitigate 
this risk. The Board also considers from 
time to time whether to manage currency 
fluctuation risk through appropriate 
hedging.

During the financial year, the Company paid a premium in respect of a contract insuring the Directors of the Company, the Company 
Secretary and all Executive Officers of the Company and of any related body corporate against a liability incurred in acting in their capacity as 
a Director, Company Secretary or Executive Officer of the Company to the extent permitted by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The relevant 
contract of insurance prohibits disclosure of the nature of the liability and the amount of the premium.

The Company’s Constitution requires the Company, so far as permitted under applicable law and to the extent the person is not otherwise 
indemnified, to indemnify each officer of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries, and may indemnify its auditors, against a liability 
incurred as such by an officer or auditor to any person (other than the Company or a related body corporate) including a liability incurred as a 
result of appointment or nomination by the Company or subsidiary as trustee or as an officer of another corporation, unless the liability arises 
out of conduct involving a lack of good faith. The Company has entered into Deeds of Indemnity, Insurance and Access with each of the 
Directors of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries in terms of the indemnity provided under the Company’s Constitution.

The Company has not otherwise, during or since the end of the financial year, except to the extent permitted by law, indemnified or agreed to 
indemnify an officer or auditor of the Company or of any related body corporate against any liability incurred in acting in their capacity as such 
an officer of the Company.

No indemnity payment has been made under any of the documents referred to above during or since the end of the financial year.

Indemnification of Auditors

The Company’s external auditor for the 2022 financial year was Deloitte.

The Company has agreed with Deloitte, as part of its terms of engagement, to indemnify Deloitte against certain liabilities to third parties 
arising from the audit engagement. The indemnity does not extend to any liability resulting from the wilful misconduct or fraudulent act or 
omission by Deloitte.

During the financial year:

•  The Company has not paid, or agreed to pay, any premium in relation to any insurance for Deloitte or a body corporate related to Deloitte;

•  No indemnity payment has been made under any of the documents referred to above during or since the end of the financial year; and

rights linked to the retention hurdle (totalling approximately 134,000) vested on 1 July 2022. 

•  There were no officers of the Company who were former partners or directors of Deloitte, whilst Deloitte conducted audits of the

30 June 2022.

1 July 2025 (being the expiry date of the performance rights).

(d)  These performance rights vest on 1 November 2023 subject to the performance criteria as detailed in note 5.2 and have a two-year exercise period 

to 1 November 2025 (being the expiry date of the performance rights).

(e)  These performance rights vest on 1 July 2024 subject to the performance criteria as detailed in note 5.2 and have a two-year exercise period to  

1 July 2026 (being the expiry date of the performance rights).

(f)  These performance rights vest on 31 December 2023 subject to the employee remaining an employee of the Company (or a subsidiary of the 

Company) as at 31 December 2023 and have a two-year exercise period to 31 December 2025 (being the expiry date of the performance rights).

The holders of these performance rights do not have the right, by virtue of the issue of the performance right, to participate in any share issue 
of the Company.

Non-Audit Services

Remuneration Policy

During the year, no amounts were paid or are payable to the external auditor (Deloitte) for the provision of non-audit services as outlined in 
note 5.5 to the Financial Statements.

During the year, the Company: 

•  did not engage Deloitte to provide any non-audit services; and 

•  paid Deloitte and the sum of $617,127 for the provision of audit services. 

As such, the Directors are satisfied that the independence of the external auditor is compatible with the general standard of independence for 
auditors imposed by the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Auditor’s Independence Declaration

The Auditor’s Independence Declaration is included on page 57 of this Annual Report.

Rounding Off of Amounts

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, 
dated 24 March 2016, and in accordance with that Corporations Instrument, amounts in the Directors’ Report and the Financial Statements 
are rounded off to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated.

Remuneration Report

This Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Directors’ Report, sets out information about the remuneration of the Company’s key 
management personnel for the financial year ended 30 June 2022. 

The Company’s ‘key management personnel’ are those persons who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling 
the activities of the consolidated entity, either directly or indirectly, including any Director (whether executive or otherwise) of the consolidated 
entity. During the financial year, following a review by the Company of its delegation of authority and internal approval practices, the Company 
determined that, in addition to the Director, only the Chief Financial Officer and Company Secretary fall within definition of ‘key management 
personnel’ and has therefore adjusted its Remuneration Report accordingly 

The prescribed details for each person covered by this Remuneration Report are detailed below under the following headings:

•  Key Management Personnel;

•  Remuneration Policy;

•  Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Company Performance;

•  Remuneration of Key Management Personnel; and

•  Key Terms of Employment Contracts.

Key Management Personnel

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is delegated responsibility by the Board for reviewing the remuneration packages of all 
Directors and key management personnel on an annual basis and making recommendations to the Board in this regard. The specific 
responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are set out in the Committee’s Charter, which can be found on the Corporate 
Governance page of our website at www.mmaoffshore.com/investor-centre/corporate-governance. 

Remuneration packages are typically reviewed and determined with due regard to current market rates and are benchmarked against 
comparable industry salaries and are adjusted to reflect changes in the performance of the Company.

Given current financial constraints, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee carried out an internal review of the remuneration 
packages of the Managing Director and non-director key management personnel for the 2022 financial year, without engaging the services 
of an independent remuneration consultant. The Board is satisfied that the remuneration recommendations made by the Nomination and 
Remuneration Committee were free from undue influence by any member of the key management personnel to whom the recommendations 
relate.

Key Remuneration Outcomes

Having regard to the overall performance of the Company and current market conditions, the key remuneration outcomes for the Company’s 
key management personnel in 2022 were as follows:

Fixed Annual Remuneration (FAR)

•  As announced to the ASX on 1 November 2021, as part of his relocation to Australia from Singapore, the Managing Director entered into 
a new employment contract, the details of which are set out in the announcement. Recognising that the Managing Director had not had 
an increase in fixed annual remuneration since FY2015 (and accepted a 10% decrease to his fixed annual remuneration in FY2018), the 
Board determined to increase the Managing Director’s FAR to $720,000 per annum (including superannuation) on and from 1 November 
2021. The increase considered Mr Ross’ appointment to the position of Managing Director (with no previous increase in this regard), the 
non-monetary allowances he received in Singapore, and provided alignment with market remuneration for comparable roles in Australia. 

•  The Chief Financial Officer did not receive an increase in FAR for the 2022 financial year. 

•  The Company’s former Company Secretary (who ceased his appointment on 10 January 2022) received a 2.5% increase in FAR in line 

with inflation and market conditions. 

Short-term Incentive (STI)

•  The Board exercised its discretion to maintain the STI component in relation to the Managing Director and other key management 

personnel for the 2022 financial year.

•  The new Company Secretary (Mr Tim Muirhead) received a cash bonus of $20,000 during the 2022 financial year. The bonus is 

recoverable if the Company Secretary departs the business before 30 April 2023. 

Long-term Incentive (LTI)

•  The Board exercised its discretion to maintain the LTI component in relation to the Managing Director and other key management 

personnel and for the 2022 financial year.

The Directors and other key management personnel of the consolidated entity during and at the end of the financial year were:

Apart from Mr Dylan Roberts and Mr Tim Muirhead (who only held their respective positions for part of the financial year), the above-named 
persons held their current position for the whole of the financial year and since the end of the financial year.

MMA Offshore Limited’s Remuneration Report for the 2021 financial year was adopted at the Company’s Annual General Meeting on 10 
November 2021 with a clear majority of 140,354,388 votes in favour of the motion (representing 99.07% of the votes received).

Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration

Non-Executive Directors’ fees are determined within an aggregate Directors’ fee pool which is periodically recommended for approval by 
shareholders. The maximum fees payable to Non-Executive Directors are currently $950,000 per annum in aggregate (as approved by 
shareholders at the Company’s AGM on 22 November 2012).

Non-Executive Directors are paid fixed fees for their services in accordance with the Company’s Constitution. Fees paid to Non-Executive 
Directors are set at levels which reflect both the responsibilities of, and time commitments required from each Non-Executive Director 
to discharge their duties. Non-Executive Directors’ fees are reviewed annually by the Board to ensure they are appropriate for the duties 
performed, including Board committee duties, and are in line with the market. Non-Executive Directors do not receive performance-based 
remuneration. Other than statutory superannuation, Directors are not entitled to retirement allowances.

For the 2022 financial year, there was no increase in Non-Executive Directors’ fees.

Other Key Management Personnel

Remuneration of the Managing Director and other key management personnel generally comprises both a fixed component and an incentive 
or “at-risk” component, which is designed to remunerate key management personnel for increasing shareholder value and for achieving 
financial targets and business strategies set by the Board.

The remuneration of the Managing Director and other key management personnel has the following three components:

• 

In setting FAR, consideration is given to current market rates and industry benchmarking 
against appropriate comparator groups (including the median market rates within the sector 
and industry peers), current market conditions, Company performance and individual 
performance.

•  The Chief Financial Officer did not receive an increase in FAR for the 2022 financial year. 

•  With effect from 1 November 2021, the Managing Director’s FAR was increased to 

$720,000 (including superannuation) as part of his relocation to Australia and recognising 
that the Managing Director had not had an increase in fixed annual remuneration since 
FY2015 (and had accepted a 10% decrease to his fixed annual remuneration in FY2018), the 
non-monetary allowances he received in Singapore, and provided alignment with market 
remuneration for comparable roles in Australia.

•  The Company’s former Company Secretary (who ceased his appointment on 10 January 

2022) received a 2.5% increase in FAR in line with inflation and market conditions. 

FY2022 STI

•  An annual “at-risk” component designed to reward performance against the achievement of 

key performance indicators (KPIs) set by the Board.

•  The invitation to participate in the STI is at the absolute discretion of the Board and is 

subject to such conditions which the Board may prescribe from time to time.

• 

In order to retain and motivate the Managing Director, key management personnel and 
other senior managers of the Company, the Board issued a FY2022 STI during the 2022 
financial year.

•  The FY2022 STI had a 12-month measurement period (i.e. from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 

2022) and, if the performance conditions were met, was payable (either in cash or shares at 
the absolute discretion of the Board) 12-months after end of the measurement period (i.e. 
from 1 July 2023) and subject to the individual remaining employed by the Company on 30 
June 2023.

•  The performance hurdles under this FY2022 STI component related to identified Group 
EBIT Targets (80% weighting) and identified Group Safety Targets (20% weighting).

•  The Company’s performance against each of these metrics resulted in 94.5% of the total 

2022 STI component vested.

•  Having exercised its discretion, the Board has decided that the vested FY2022 STI award 

will take the form of deferred rights (which shall convert into ordinary, fully paid shares in the 
Company) on completion of an additional 12-months of service by the participant (i.e. on 1 
July 2023). 

• 

If required, Shareholder approval will be obtained prior to the issue of any deferred rights to 
the Managing Director under this FY2022 STI component.

FY2022 Cash Bonus

•  The new Company Secretary (Mr Tim Muirhead) received a one-off cash bonus of $20,000 
(which is repayable if the Company Secretary departs the Company prior to 30 April 2023). 
The cash bonus was given in recognition of significant efforts involved in the Company's 
asset divestments and acquisitions.

Remuneration Component

Details

Long-term Incentive  
(LTI)

•  The Company grants rights over its ordinary shares under the LTI.

•  The vesting of these rights is based on the achievement of stipulated performance criteria 

targets over a three-year period.

•  The LTI also aims to align executives’ long-term interests with those of shareholders and to 

retain executives.

•  As previously reported and recognising the need to retain and suitably incentivise the 

Managing Director and other key management personnel (in the interests of the Company 
and all its shareholders), the Board has determined to continue the LTI component for the 
Managing Director, key management personnel and other senior managers for the 2022 
financial year.

•  The FY2022 LTI Performance Rights have a three-year performance period (commencing  

1 July 2021 and ending on 30 June 2024).

•  For the Managing Director and Chief Financial Officer, the FY2022 LTI Performance Rights 

includes a single performance hurdle relating to a Share Price Target with: 

–  0% vesting if Company’s share price is less than 65 cps at the end of the LTI 

Performance Period.

–  50% vesting if Company’s share price is equal to 65 cps at the end of the LTI 

Performance Period. 

–  Pro-rata vesting (on a straight-line basis) if Company’s share price is greater than 65 

cps but less than 96 cps at the end of the LTI Performance Period. 

–  100% vesting if Company’s share price is 96 cps or greater at the end of the LTI 

Performance Period (Share Price Target). 

•  For other key management personnel, the FY2022 LTI Performance Rights include 

performance hurdles relating to the Share Price Target (70% weighting) and a Retention 
Hurdle (30% weighting).

•  The Board obtained shareholder approval for the grant of the FY2022 LTI Performance 

Rights at Company’s 2021 AGM.

FY2022 Retention Incentive Package

• 

In addition, having considered the competitive employment market conditions in Australia 
(and particularly in Western Australia), in order to retain and motivate key management 
personnel to continue to work to deliver on the Company’s strategy, the Board determined 
to issue a bonus retention package to key management personnel and other senior 
management. The package comprised of deferred rights which shall convert into ordinary, 
fully paid shares in the Company, subject to the key management personnel remaining 
employed at the Company on 31 December 2023.

Relationship between the Remuneration Policy and Company Performance

(A) 

Key Management Personnel Remuneration (Actual)

The table below summarises information about the Company’s earnings for the 2022 financial year and the Company’s earnings and 
movements in shareholder wealth for the five years to 30 June 2022, which is a key factor in the Board’s decision to award the vested 2022 
STI in the form of deferred rights (which shall convert into shares subject to continued employment on 30 June 2022) rather than cash for the 
2022 financial year.

Remuneration of Key Management Personnel

In this Annual Report, remuneration outcomes are presented based on the requirements of accounting standards (which has the benefit of 
being readily comparable with other companies) rather than the actual “take-home” pay received by key management personnel (being cash, 
other benefits and the value of equity vesting during the relevant financial year).

An example of this includes LTI awards which are recognised and accounted for over the performance period (three years) based on their 
assessed value when originally granted to the executive. This may be significantly different to their value, if and when the incentive vests to 
that executive.

The following tables disclose:

(A) 

(B) 

The actual remuneration of the Directors and other key management personnel of the Company for the 2022 financial year (i.e. the 
actual “take-home” pay received by key management personnel for the 2022 financial year); and

The statutory presentation of the remuneration of the Directors and other key management personnel of the Company for the 2022 
financial year and for the previous financial year based on the requirements of accounting standards.

Bonus and Share-based payments granted as compensation for the current financial year

STI (Cash Bonuses)

During the financial year the new Company Secretary (Mr Tim Muirhead) received a cash bonus of $20,000 (which is repayable if the 
Company Secretary departs the Company prior to 30 April 2023). 

STI (Performance Rights)

As noted above, in order to retain and motivate the Managing Director, key management personnel and other senior personnel of the 
Company, the Board maintained the STI component for the 2022 financial year.

The FY2022 STI had a 12-month measurement period (i.e. from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022) and, if the performance conditions were met, 
was payable (either in cash or shares at the absolute discretion of the Board) 12-months after end of the measurement period (i.e. from  
1 July 2023) and subject to the individual remaining employed by the Company on 30 June 2023.

The performance hurdles under this FY2022 STI component related to identified Group EBIT Targets (80% weighting) and identified Group 
Safety Targets (20% weighting).

The Company’s performance against each of these metrics resulted in a 95.4% of the total 2022 STI vesting.

Having exercised its discretion, the Board has decided that the vested 2022 STI award will take the form of deferred rights (which shall 
convert into ordinary, fully paid shares in the Company) on completion of an additional 12-months of service by the participant (i.e. on 1 July 
2023). If required, Shareholder approval will be obtained prior to the issue of any deferred rights to the Managing Director under this FY2022 
STI component.

LTI (Performance Rights)

During the financial year key management personnel were issued with a bonus retention package comprising deferred rights which shall 
convert into ordinary, fully paid shares in the Company, subject to the key management personnel remaining employed at the Company on 31 
December 2023.

During the financial year the Managing Director and key management personnel were issued with the FY2022 LTI Performance Rights. Each 
right under the FY2022 LTI converts to one ordinary share of MMA Offshore Limited on vesting. No amounts are paid or payable by the 
recipient upon the grant of rights under the FY2022 LTI Plans. The rights carry neither a right to a dividend nor a voting right. Please refer to 
the table below for details of the performance criteria for the rights granted during the 2022 financial year under the FY2022 Plans.

(1)  Appointed on 10 January 2022

During the financial year the Company developed a policy requiring Non-Executive Directors to accumulate a minimum shareholding in 
the Company. Directors are expected accumulate (over a period of five years from their appointment date) shares in the Company equal in 
value to the annual fees (excluding committee fees) payable by the Company to the Non-Executive Director. Notwithstanding the minimum 
holding expectation, the policy is not intended to financially disadvantage Non-Executive Directors and it is recognised that exceptional 
circumstances may require Non-Executive Directors to sell and hold less than the minimum requirement from time to time.

Share Trading Restrictions

The Company’s Share Trading Policy requires key management personnel proposing to enter into arrangements that limit the economic 
risk of a vested holding in the Company’s securities to first obtain approval from the Chairman of the Board (for directors), approval of the 
Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee (for the Chairman of the Board), and approval from the Managing Director (for other executives), 
and subsequently provide details of the dealing within five business days of the dealing taking place. Any breach of the Share Trading Policy 
is taken very seriously by the Company and is subject to disciplinary action, including possible termination of a person’s employment or 
appointment. A copy of the Company’s Share Trading Policy can be found on the Corporate Governance page of our website at 
www.mmaoffshore.com/investor-centre/corporate-governance.

MMA Offshore Limited  |  Annual Report 2022        69

1.  General Notes

MMA	Offshore	Limited	(MMA	or	the	Company)	is	a	for	profit,	listed	public	company	incorporated	in	Australia.	Its	shares	are	traded	on	the	
Australian Securities Exchange.

2. 

Financial Performance

2.1  Segment Information

1.1  Basis of Preparation

The	financial	statements	have	been	prepared	on	the	historical	cost	basis.	Historical	cost	is	generally	based	on	the	fair	values	of	the	
consideration given in exchange for assets. 

All amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Transactions in foreign currencies are recognised at the rates of 
exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies at reporting date are translated at 
the	exchange	rate	prevailing	at	that	date.	Exchange	differences	are	recognised	in	profit	or	loss	in	the	period	in	which	they	arise	except	for	
certain hedging transactions and translation of foreign operations as described in note 4.2. 

The Company is a company of the kind referred to in ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financials/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191, 
dated	24	March	2016,	and	in	accordance	with	this	Corporations	Instrument,	amounts	in	the	financial	statements	are	rounded	off	to	the	
nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise indicated. 

Statement of Compliance

These	financial	statements	are	general	purpose	financial	statements	which	have	been	prepared	in	accordance	with	the	Corporations	Act	
2001, Accounting Standards and other authoritative pronouncements issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board (AASB), and 
comply with other requirements of the law.

Compliance	with	Australian	Accounting	Standards	ensures	that	the	financial	statements	and	notes	of	the	Group	comply	with	International	
Financial	Reporting	Standards	(IFRS)	as	issued	by	the	International	Accounting	Standards	Board	(IASB).	Consequently,	this	financial	report	
has been prepared in accordance with and complies with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

1.2  Going Concern

The	directors	have,	at	the	time	of	approving	the	financial	statements,	a	reasonable	expectation	that	the	Group	have	adequate	resources	
to continue in operational existence for the foreseeable future. Thus, they continue to adopt the going concern basis of accounting in 
preparing	the	financial	statements.

1.3  Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty 

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the Directors are required to make judgements (other than those involving 
estimations)	that	have	a	significant	impact	on	the	amounts	recognised	and	to	make	estimates	and	assumptions	about	carrying	values	of	
assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical 
experience	and	other	factors	that	are	considered	to	be	relevant.	Actual	results	may	differ	from	these	estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the 
period	in	which	the	estimate	is	revised	if	the	revision	affects	only	that	period,	or	in	the	period	of	the	revision	and	future	periods	if	the	
revision	affects	both	current	and	future	periods.

Key sources of estimation uncertainty 

The following are the key assumptions concerning the future, and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of the reporting 
period,	that	have	a	significant	risk	of	causing	a	material	adjustment	to	the	carrying	amounts	of	assets	and	liabilities	within	the	next	financial	
year.

Estimation of expected credit losses – refer note 3.2

Useful lives of property, plant and equipment – refer note 3.5

Impairment of non-current assets – refer note 3.7

Provisions – refer note 3.14

An operating segment is a component of a group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses 
and whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (Board of Directors) for the purposes of 
resource allocation and assessment of segment performance. Information regarding the Group’s operating segments is presented below. 
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as the Group’s accounting policies.

Information reported to the Board of Directors is focused on the category of services provided through the Groups operating activities.

The	group’s	reportable	segments	are:	

•  Vessel	Services	-	provision	of	specialised	offshore	support	vessels;	and

•  Subsea	Services	–	services	to	companies	operating	in	subsea	environments	including	inspection,	maintenance	and	repair;	and

•  Project Logistics – project management of large marine spreads and complex marine logistics.

Financial Performance (continued)

2.1  Segment Information (continued)

Revenue from charter of vessels 

Revenue from the charter of vessels is an integrated service provided to customers and includes the vessel hire, mobilisation and 
demobilisation and fuel sales. Revenue is recognised over the period of time over which the customer utilises the vessel. Where the entity 
supplies goods, such as fuel, to the customer as part of the contract, revenue is recognised at a point in time when the customer obtains 
control of the goods.

Revenue from subsea services

Revenue from subsea services is derived from providing a variety of services to companies operating in subsea environments including 
the inspection, maintenance and repair of facilities and equipment including mobilisation and demobilisation into these contracts. Revenue 
is recognised over time based on the input method by reference to the period of time in which services are provided to the customer for 
each contract.

Revenue from project logistics

Revenue from project logistics relates to project management of large marine spreads and complex marine logistics also including 
mobilisation and demobilisation and fuel sales. Revenue is recognised over time based on the input method by reference to estimates of 
work completed for each contract.

The	Group	recognises	other	revenue	as	the	promised	goods	and	services	are	provided	to	customers	in	an	amount	that	reflects	the	
consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods and services.

Segment Assets

The	following	is	an	analysis	of	the	Group’s	assets	by	reportable	segment:	

Segment	profit/(loss)	represents	the	profit/(loss)	earned	by	the	Vessels,	Subsea	Services	and	Project	Logistics	segments	without	allocation	
of	finance	income,	other	income,	administration	costs,	finance	costs	and	income	tax	expense.	This	is	the	measure	reported	to	the	CODM	
for the purposes of resource allocation and assessment of segment performance.

Disaggregation of revenue

The Group derives its revenue from contracts with customers for the transfer of goods and services over time and at a point in time in the 
following major product lines.

Vessel	and	Subsea	Services	segments	asset	comparatives	include	assets	classified	as	held	for	sale	(refer	note	3.4).

(ii)  Segment assets are held in both A$ and US$ denominated currencies. The US$ assets are translated into A$ using exchange rates 
prevailing at the end of the reporting period. The movement in the exchange rate has resulted in an unrealised positive movement in 
the asset value of $30.1 million in A$ terms. 

For the purposes of monitoring segment performance and allocating resources to a segment, all assets are allocated to a reportable 
segment other than cash and central administration assets.

assist in dealing with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This support has been accounted for on a ‘gross’ basis with the income 
included	in	‘Other	income	and	expenses’	in	the	Statement	of	Profit	&	Loss.	The	related	employee	expenses	are	recorded	in	their	
respective operating segment. From 31 March 2021 onwards, the Group ceased to qualify for Australian government support. The 
Group continues to qualify and receive Singaporean job support grants.

Government grants are not recognised until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to 
them and that the grants will be received. 

Government	grants	are	recognised	in	profit	or	loss	on	a	systematic	basis	over	the	periods	in	which	the	Group	recognises	as	expenses	the	
related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or

The	tax	rate	used	for	the	reconciliations	above	is	the	corporate	tax	rate	of	30%	payable	by	Australian	corporate	entities	on	taxable	profits	
under Australian tax law.

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

The	tax	currently	payable	is	based	on	the	taxable	profit	for	the	year	in	certain	jurisdictions.	Taxable	profit	differs	from	profit	as	reported	in	
the	Consolidated	Statement	of	Profit	or	Loss	and	Other	Comprehensive	Income	because	of	items	of	income	or	expense	that	are	taxable	
or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s liability for current tax is calculated using tax rates 
and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date.

(i)  A	review	of	long	held	trade	receivables	was	undertaken	during	the	year	resulting	in	the	write	off	of	certain	amounts	as	bad	debts.	

Expected credit loss provisions had been raised for all these amounts in previous years. 

(ii)  Other receivables includes an amount of $4.2 million paid as a deposit for the acquisition of the Subcon business. This transaction 

settled after the end of the year and the deposit applied as part of settlement. Refer to note 5.11 for further details.

The credit period for customers is negotiated individually on a case by case basis. An allowance has been made for estimated 
irrecoverable trade receivable amounts arising from the past rendering of services.

The	Group	writes	off	a	trade	receivable	when	there	is	information	indicating	that	the	debtor	is	in	significant	financial	difficulty	and	there	is	
no	realistic	prospect	of	recovery.	Subsequent	recoveries	of	amounts	previously	written	off	are	credited	against	the	allowance	account.

The Group measures the allowance for expected credit losses for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses 
(“ECL”)	using	the	simplified	approach	where

1.  ECL’s are collectively estimated using a provision matrix based on the Group’s historical credit loss experience adjusted for factors 
that	are	specific	to	geographic	region,	general	economic	conditions	and	an	assessment	of	current	and	forecast	conditions	at	
reporting date. This has resulted in ECL’s being applied to debtors aged over 60 days in our international business.  

2. 

In	cases	where	there	is	specific	information	available,	the	ECL	assessment	is	adjusted	for	factors	that	are	specific	to	the	debtor	
including	their	financial	capacity	to	make	payment,	discussions	with	the	debtor	on	the	status	of	the	receivable	and	any	other	
information relevant to the assessment of the recoverability.

The	ageing	of	trade	receivables	to	which	these	measures	were	applied	were:

3.4	 Assets	Classified	as	Held	for	Sale

Non-current	assets	are	classified	as	held	for	sale	if	their	carrying	amount	will	be	recovered	principally	through	a	sale	transaction	rather	than	
through continuing use and a sale is considered highly probable. They are measured at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less 
costs of disposal and no depreciation is recorded on these assets. An impairment loss is recognised for any initial write-down of the asset 
to fair value less costs of disposal. Information regarding the assets held for sale in the Statement of Financial Position is presented below.

At	30	June	2022,	the	Group	has	completed	its	vessel	disposal	program	with	no	remaining	vessels	classified	as	held	for	sale.	Of	the	eight	
vessels held for sale at the beginning of the year, seven have been sold with proceeds of $37 million applied to the repayment of the 
Group	debt	facility.	As	a	result	of	newly	identified	opportunities	for	the	remaining	vessel,	it	has	been	transferred	back	into	the	core	fleet	as	
at 30 June 2022. In reassessing its recoverable value on the transfer, there was a $0.1 million reduction in its carrying value down to  
$1.5 million.

Leasehold buildings and improvements, vessels and plant and equipment are stated at cost less, where applicable, accumulated 
depreciation and impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributed to the acquisition of the item.

Depreciation	is	recognised	so	as	to	write	off	the	cost	or	valuation	of	assets	less	their	residual	values	over	their	useful	lives.	Buildings	and	
improvements are depreciated over the period of the lease or estimated useful life using the straight-line method on the following bases,

The Group reviews the estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment at the end of each annual reporting period. At the end of 
this reporting period, the Directors have determined that there was no adjustment required to the Group’s property, plant and equipment’s 
useful lives.

Impairment of Non-Current Assets

The Group performs a review of non-current asset values at each reporting period and whenever events occur or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset group may be impaired. Market conditions are monitored for indications 
of	impairment	for	all	of	the	Group’s	operating	assets	and	where	such	indications	are	identified,	a	formal	impairment	assessment	is	
performed.

If the recoverable amount of an asset (or cash-generating unit) is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the 
asset	(cash-generating	unit)	is	reduced	to	its	recoverable	amount.	An	impairment	loss	is	recognised	in	profit	or	loss	immediately.

When an impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amount of the asset (or a cash-generating unit) is increased to the revised 
estimate of its recoverable amount, but so that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been 
determined had no impairment loss been recognised for the asset (or cash-generating unit) in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss 
is	recognised	immediately	in	profit	or	loss.

Impairment testing 

The carrying amount of the net assets of the Group is greater than the Company’s market capitalisation which is an indicator of 
impairment at 30 June 2022. As a result, the Group assessed the recoverable amounts of the Vessels, Subsea and Project Logistics 
Cash-Generating Units (‘CGU’).

The	assessment	resulted	in	the	following	impairment	reversals/(charges)	included	in	profit	or	loss:

Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. In our Vessels calculations, the inputs used are based on both 
observable and unobservable market data prepared by an independent valuation consultant. Due to the unobservable market data 
and internal valuation components of the valuations, the inputs are considered Level 3.

Inputs	in	determining	the	classification	level	within	the	fair	value	hierarchy	are	reassessed	at	each	reporting	period	as	part	of	the	
impairment process. The inputs used within calculations are assessed and discussed internally to determine the extent to which they can 
be	compared	to	observable	market	information	and	classified	accordingly.

This	financial	year	has	seen	improvements	in	overall	market	conditions	in	which	the	Group	operates,	evidenced	by	increases	in	the	brent	
oil price from a starting point of US$74 to a high of US$122 before settling at US$106 at the end of the year combined with the focus on 
global	energy	security.	As	a	result	of	the	stronger	price,	there	has	been	increased	activity	in	offshore	projects	now	and	expected	into	the	
future (new FID for large Gas projects, especially in Australia) increasing demand for the Group services in all segments. For the vessels 
segment,	this	demand	side	pressure	combines	with	a	tightening	supply	of	vessels	in	the	offshore	market	resulting	in	improved	prices	in	
the industry.

The	offshore	renewables	market	is	also	gathering	pace	with	significant	projects	committed	to	and	under	construction	with	potential	to	
utilise the services of the Group.

Whilst	COVID-19	continues	to	impact	the	world	and	the	industry,	the	situation	has	improved	significantly	as	a	result	of	the	lifting	of	
restrictions in our operating regions.

Vessels

Subsea

A	group	of	non-core	vessels	in	the	fleet	were	classified	as	being	held	for	sale	as	at	30	June	2020	and	continued	at	30	June	2021.	This	
classification	had	resulted	in	two	separate	fair	value	assessments	for	the	fleet,	being	those	core	vessels	used	for	continuing	operations	
and	those	non-core	vessels	that	are	classified	as	held	for	sale.

Items	of	plant	&	equipment	from	the	Subsea	CGU	were	classified	as	being	held	for	sale	as	at	30	June	2020	and	continued	at	30	June	
2021.	This	classification	had	resulted	in	two	separate	recoverable	value	assessments,	being	for	the	ongoing	business	and	the	plant	&	
equipment that is held for sale. 

Vessels - Continuing Operations

Subsea - Continuing Operations

The	recoverable	amount	of	the	core	vessels	was	determined	using	a	market-based	approach,	reflecting	the	value	which	could	be	
expected to be realised through the disposal of the vessels, in an orderly market, on an “as is where is” basis between a willing buyer and 
willing seller.

An	independent	valuation	of	the	fleet	was	undertaken	by	a	specialist	marine	valuation	consultancy	and	shipbroking	company.	In	preparing	
their valuation report, some of the factors they considered include the current market conditions in which the vessels operate, a review of 
recent	market	sales	of	similar	vessels,	consideration	of	the	specification	and	earnings	potential	of	each	vessel	and	the	inherent	value	and	
replacement	cost	of	each	vessel.	As	a	result	of	the	improving	market	conditions	discussed	above,	the	vessel	valuation	report	reflected	
increases in values, leading to a partial reversal of prior year impairments.

A	key	input	into	the	recoverable	amount	of	the	CGU	was	the	application	of	a	discount	to	the	independent	vessel	valuation	to	reflect	the	
amount	which	would	be	achieved	if	the	core	fleet	was	disposed	of	in	one	single	transaction.	The	Board	have	decreased	this	discount	
to	15.0%	for	the	current	period.	This	rate	is	at	the	upper	end	of	the	range	specified	by	the	independent	valuer.	We	are	at	the	start	of	the	
recovery and as we work our way through this and more data points become available to prove up the longevity and sustainability of the 
recovery the Board will reassess and likely lower the en bloc discount over time. In the June 2021 impairment assessment, the company 
used a discount of 15.8%. 

The	following	factors	were	taken	into	account	in	determining	this	value:

• 

• 

• 

• 

the movement in the oil price during the period

increased	activity	in	the	offshore	industry

tightening	of	supply	in	the	offshore	industry

the adopted % being within the range provided by the valuer 

Consistent	with	previous	periods,	selling	costs	are	also	assumed	to	be	2%	(2021:	2%)	of	the	vessel	sales	value.

Key assumptions and sensitivity

The FVLCOD method requires an estimate of the current market value of the assets and the costs that would be associated with a 
disposal	of	the	assets.	In	estimating	the	current	market	value	of	the	assets,	the	Group	engaged	experienced	and	qualified	valuers	to	
perform	valuations.	Estimates	have	also	been	made	on	the	discount	to	the	independent	vessel	valuation	to	reflect	the	amount	which	
would	be	achieved	if	the	fleet	was	disposed	of	in	one	single	transaction,	plus	the	selling	costs	associated	with	the	sale.	

The following provides information on the assumptions made in determining the fair value of the vessels, together with a sensitivity analysis 

showing the potential impact on the vessel carrying value based on the movement (increase or decrease) in the assumption.

As	described	in	Note	3.4,	Assets	Classified	as	Held	for	Sale,	the	Group	has	completed	its	vessel	disposal	program	during	the	year.	At	30	
June	2022,	one	vessel	had	not	been	sold	and	it	was	transferred	back	into	the	core	fleet.	This	vessel	has	now	been	valued	under	the	same	
methodology described above for Vessels – Continuing Operations. This has resulted in a $0.1m impairment charge on transfer.

To	assess	the	recoverable	amount	of	the	Subsea	CGU,	a	ViU	assessment	was	performed	using	five	year	cash	flows	and	a	terminal	value.

There were no material changes in the underlying assumptions used for the assessment as at 30 June 2021, except for expected future 
cashflows	being	updated	to	reflect	recent	forecasts.	In	determining	the	forecast	revenues	and	operating	expenses,	consideration	has	
been	given	to	the	following:	

•  current and potential new contracts for the Subsea business

•  current and expected tendering activities

•  expected Subsea services activity in the region

•  cost of running the business including labour and overheads

•  project work has been budgeted by applying estimated gross margins, based on historical results, to the estimated revenues of 

projects

• 

in	assessing	future	revenues,	potential	projects	are	identified	with	estimates	of	their	total	revenue.	A	likelihood	of	success	%	is	then	

applied	to	the	revenue	to	reflect	a	risk	weighted	likely	revenue	amount

A	discount	rate	of	11.3%	(2021:	10.9%)	has	been	used	for	ViU	assessments.	

In	the	budget	approved	by	the	board,	forecast	revenues	have	been	increased	for	the	FY2023	to	FY2025	years	to	reflect	the	improving	
market	conditions.	Nil	revenue	growth	in	FY2026	and	FY2027	has	been	assumed,	with	terminal	year	growth	of	2%	(2021:	2%)	reflecting	a	
long	term	inflation	rate	estimate.

Key assumptions and sensitivity

The recoverable value of the Subsea assets in the current year was assessed using a ViU approach.

The	estimation	of	future	cashflows	has	been	prepared	based	on	approved	group	budgets	with	estimates	and	assumptions	regarding	
future revenue growth rates, operating margins and discount rates.

The following provides information on the assumptions made in determining the recoverable value of the assets, together with a sensitivity

In	determining	the	forecast	revenues	and	operating	expenses,	consideration	has	been	given	to	the	following:	

•  current and potential new contracts for the Project Logistics business

•  current and expected tendering activities

•  expected Project Logistics services activity in the region

A	discount	rate	of	11.3%	(2021:	10.9%)	has	been	used	for	ViU	assessments.

Total carrying value of the CGU is $2.0m with $0.8m being net working capital and $0.8m right of use asset resulting in low sensitivity to 
changes in assumptions.

Repayments totalling $53.0 million were made during the year. Of this, $37.0 million was funded through the vessel disposal program, 
$0.9 million from other asset disposals and $15.1 million from cash reserves. 

In addition, it was agreed with the banking syndicate to waive the interest cover ratio and leverage ratio covenants for the period from 
1 July 2021 until 31 March 2022. This waiver of these debt covenants was agreed on the basis of the challenging trading conditions 
the	offshore	support	vessel	industry	was	facing	due	to	the	ongoing	affects	of	the	COVID-19	Delta	variant.	The	covenant	testing	re-
commenced from 1 April 2022 and the Group is in compliance with all requirements.

The interest payable on the US$ denominated loan is currently linked to LIBOR, which is being phased out globally. As such, MMA has 
engage with the banking syndicate to discuss the timeline for transition to a new interest rate mechanism to replace LIBOR and agreed to 
delay the commencement of discussions until 31 December 2022. At this time, the change in the interest rate benchmark is not expected 
to	have	any	material	effect	on	the	loan	amount,	classification	of	the	loan	or	the	covenants	other	than	a	change	in	reference	rate.

As	disclosed	by	Australian	Stock	Exchange	(ASX)	announcement	on	23	June	2021	and	in	the	2021	annual	report,	a	final	arbitration	award	
was made against a wholly owned subsidiary of MMA on 22 June 2021.

MMA	appealed	that	decision	to	the	High	Court	of	Singapore,	and	as	previously	announced	to	the	ASX:

• 

the	High	Court	of	Singapore	dismissed	MMA’s	appeal;	and	

•  as a result of the dismissal MMA is required to pay S$11.7 million (S$10.2 million of which was paid during 2022, with the remaining 

S$1.5 million due 22 June 2023). 

MMA	has	lodged	a	final	appeal	against	the	decision	of	the	High	Court	of	Singapore.	

Significant	Estimates

In	the	current	year,	the	Group	has	a	total	provision	of	$2.1	million	(2021:	$11.9	million)	in	relation	to	ongoing	legal	claims.	This	amount	
have	been	estimated	by	the	directors	as	a	possible	outflow	that	may	be	required	to	settle	these	legal	claims.	As	these	legal	claims	have

A	liability	is	recognised	for	benefits	accruing	to	employees	in	respect	of	wages	and	salaries,	annual	leave	and	long	service	leave	in	the	
period the related service is performed.

Liabilities	recognised	in	respect	of	short-term	employee	benefits,	are	measured	at	their	nominal	values	using	the	remuneration	rate	
expected to apply at the time of settlement.

Liabilities	recognised	in	respect	of	long-term	employee	benefits	are	measured	at	the	present	value	of	the	estimated	future	cash	outflows	to	
be made by the Group in respect of services provided by employees up to reporting date.

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probable that the 
Group will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at reporting date, 
taking	into	account	the	risks	and	uncertainties	surrounding	the	obligation.	Where	a	provision	is	measured	using	the	cash	flows	estimated	
to	settle	the	present	obligation,	its	carrying	amount	is	the	present	value	of	those	cash	flows.

Deferred	tax	is	recognised	on	temporary	differences	between	the	carrying	amounts	of	assets	and	liabilities	in	the	financial	statements	and	
the	corresponding	tax	bases	used	in	the	computation	of	taxable	profit.	Deferred	tax	assets	are	generally	recognised	for	all	deductible	
temporary	differences	to	the	extent	that	it	is	probable	that	taxable	profits	will	be	available	against	which	deductible	temporary	differences	
can be utilised.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period(s) in which the liability is settled or 
the asset is realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by reporting date. 

The	measurement	of	deferred	tax	liabilities	and	assets	reflects	the	tax	consequences	that	would	follow	from	the	manner	in	which	the	
Group expects, at the reporting date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

Deferred	tax	assets	and	liabilities	are	offset	when	there	is	a	legally	enforceable	right	to	set	off	current	tax	assets	against	current	tax	
liabilities and when they relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the Group intends to settle its current tax assets 
and liabilities on a net basis.

Current	and	deferred	tax	are	recognised	in	profit	or	loss,	except	when	they	relate	to	items	that	are	recognised	in	other	comprehensive	
income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in 

equity respectively. 

Unrecognised deferred tax assets

Deductible	temporary	differences,	unused	tax	losses	and	unused	tax	credits	for	which	no	
deferred	tax	assets	have	been	recognised	are	attributable	to	the	following:

Tax losses (revenue in nature)

Tax losses (capital in nature)

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer 
probable	that	sufficient	taxable	profits	will	be	available	to	allow	all	or	part	of	the	asset	to	be	recovered.

Nature of tax funding arrangements and tax sharing agreements 

Entities within the tax-consolidated group have entered into a tax funding arrangement and a tax sharing agreement with the head entity. 
Under	the	terms	of	the	tax	funding	arrangement,	MMA	Offshore	Ltd	and	each	of	the	entities	in	the	tax-consolidated	group	has	agreed	to	
pay a tax equivalent payment to or from the head entity, based on the current tax liability or current tax asset of the entity. Such amounts 
are	reflected	in	amounts	receivable	from	or	payable	to	other	entities	in	the	tax-consolidated	group.

The tax sharing agreement entered into between members of the tax-consolidated group provides for the determination of the allocation 
of income tax liabilities between the entities should the head entity default on its tax payment obligations or if any entity should leave the 
tax	consolidated	group.	The	effect	of	the	tax	sharing	agreement	is	that	each	member’s	liability	for	tax	payable	by	the	tax	consolidated	
group is limited to the amount payable to the head entity under the tax funding arrangement.

The	employee	equity	settled	benefits	reserve	arises	on	the	grant	of	share	rights	to	executives	and	employees	under	the	Company’s	share	
rights plans. Amounts are transferred out of the reserve and into issued capital when the rights vest or expire.

The	hedging	reserve	is	used	to	record	gains	and	losses	on	hedges	designated	as	cash	flow	hedges	including	hedges	of	net	investments	
in	a	foreign	operation.	Gains	and	losses	accumulated	in	the	hedge	reserve	are	taken	to	the	profit	or	loss	when	the	hedged	transaction	
impacts	the	profit	or	loss,	or	is	included	as	an	adjustment	to	the	initial	carrying	amount	of	the	hedged	item.	For	a	net	investment	in	a	
foreign	operation	any	gains	and	losses	are	taken	to	profit	or	loss	on	disposal	of	the	foreign	operation.

The	foreign	currency	translation	reserve	represents	exchange	differences	relating	to	the	translation	from	the	functional	currencies	of	the	
Group’s foreign controlled entities into Australian Dollars.

The assets and liabilities of the Group’s foreign operations are translated into Australian Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end 
of	the	reporting	period.	Income	and	expense	items	are	translated	at	the	average	exchange	rates	for	the	period.	Exchange	differences	
arising, if any, are recognised through other comprehensive income and recognised in equity. 

On the disposal of the foreign operation (i.e. a disposal of the Group’s entire interest in a foreign operation), all of the accumulated 
exchange	differences	in	respect	of	that	operation	attributable	to	the	Group	are	reclassified	to	profit	or	loss.

4.4  Capital Risk Management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns, while maximising the return 
to stakeholders through the optimisation of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from the 2021 
financial	year.

The	capital	structure	of	the	Group	consists	of	net	debt	(borrowings	as	detailed	in	note	3.12	offset	by	cash	at	bank	balances)	and	equity	of	
the Group (comprising issued capital and reserves as detailed in notes 4.1 and 4.2 and accumulated losses).

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements other than normal banking requirements. Refer to note 3.12.

Based on recommendations of management and the Board, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through new share issues 
as well as the establishment of new borrowing facilities or repayment of existing facilities. The Group uses its leverage ratio (measured as 
debt	to	property	plant	&	equipment)	to	manage	its	capital.	The	ratio	is	monitored	on	a	monthly	basis	by	the	Board	and	management.	

Leverage Ratio

The	leverage	ratio	at	the	end	of	the	reporting	period	was	as	follows:

Debt (i)

Cash and cash equivalents

Net debt

Property,	plant	&	equipment	(ii)

Leverage ratio

(i)  Debt	is	defined	as	gross	long	and	short-term	borrowings,	as	detailed	in	note	3.12.

The Group has established ownership based compensation plans whereby executives and employees of the Group have been issued 
rights	over	ordinary	shares	of	MMA	Offshore	Limited.

Upon	exercise,	each	share	right,	converts	into	one	ordinary	share	of	MMA	Offshore	Limited.	No	amounts	are	paid	or	are	payable	by	
the	recipient	on	receipt	of	the	rights.	The	rights	carry	no	entitlement	to	dividends	and	no	voting	rights.	Holders	of	rights	do	not	have	the	
entitlement, by virtue of the right, to participate in any share issue of the Company. The rights may be exercised at any time from their 
vesting date to the date of their expiry. The rights are not quoted on the ASX.

2020 Issues

Performance	Rights	issued	during	the	2020	financial	year	as	part	of	Series	3	and	4	to	executives	and	employees	are	subject	to	
achievement of a number of vesting targets. For Key Management Personnel, 50% of the rights are subject to achieving a return on 
assets of greater than 10% at the end of the three-year vesting period and the remaining 50% are subject to the Company’s Total 
Shareholder Return percentile ranking relative to a selected Peer Group over the three-year vesting period.

For other employees, 40% of the rights are subject to achieving a return on assets of greater than 10% at the end of the three year vesting 
period, 20% relate to a retention hurdle with the participant required to be employed the Group at the end of the three year vesting period 
and the remaining 40% are subject to the Company’s Total Shareholder Return percentile ranking relative to a selected Peer Group over 
the three-year vesting period.

None of Key Management Personnel or Managing Director performance rights (totalling 1,158,730) vested on 1 July 2022 and these 
performance rights will lapse. The Board has determined that for senior managers who achieved the retention hurdle the performance 
rights vested and therefore 133,993 of the performance rights vested on 1 July 2022 will be converted to ordinary shares.

2021 Issues

Performance	Rights	issued	during	the	2021	financial	year	as	part	of	Series	5,6	and	7	to	executives	and	employees	are	subject	to	
achievement of a number of vesting targets.

For the Series 5 issue to Key Management Personnel, the number of rights vesting are subject to the company share price reaching a 
minimum level of $0.65, with pro rata vesting on a straight line basis up to 100% vesting if the share price is $0.96 or higher. 

For the Series 6 issue to other employees, 30% relate to a retention hurdle with the participant required to be employed by the Group at 
the end of the three year vesting period and the remaining 70% are subject to the same share price hurdle as Series 5.

For the Series 7 issue to Key Management Personnel, 30% relate to a retention hurdle with the participant required to be employed by the 
Group at the end of the three year vesting period and the remaining 70% vests if the share price is larger than or equal to $0.90.

2022 Issues 

Performance	Rights	issued	during	the	2022	financial	year	as	part	of	Series	8	to	13	to	executives	and	employees	are	subject	to	
achievement of a number of vesting targets.

The	Series	8,	9	and	10	issues	were	short	term	incentive	plans	for	the	2021	financial	year.	Performance	conditions	were	met	at	30	June	
2021 with vesting subject to the employee remaining employed by the Group on 30 June 2022. These have all vested at the date of this 
report.

For the Series 11 issue to Key Management Personnel, the number of rights vesting are subject to the company share price reaching a 
minimum level of $0.65, with pro rata vesting on a straight line basis up to 100% vesting if the share price is $0.96 or higher. 

For the Series 12 issue to other employees, 30% relate to a retention hurdle with the participant required to be employed by the Group at 
the end of the three year vesting period and the remaining 70% are subject to the same share price hurdle as Series 11.

The Series 13 issue is a Key Management Personnel retention plans and only vest subject to the employee remaining employed by the 
Group on 31 December 2023.

Please refer to the Remuneration Report on pages 44 to 56 for further details of Performance Rights issued to executives and employees.

Fair value of share rights granted during the year

The weighted average fair value of rights issued during the year are detailed in the above table. The rights in Series 11 and 12 were valued 
using the Monte Carlo simulation model. 

Equity settled share based payments to employees are measured at fair value of the equity instrument at grant date. 

The	following	shows	the	inputs	into	the	valuation	model	for	the	rights	granted	during	the	year:

The fair value of the other share rights issued during the year, being Series 8,9,10 and 13, were based on the share price at the date of 
issuing, when all other vesting conditions had been met.

The fair value determined at the grant date of the equity settled share based payments is expensed on a straight-line basis over the 
vesting period, based on the Group’s estimate of equity instruments that will eventually vest, with a corresponding increase in equity. At 
the end of each reporting period, the Group revises its estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The impact of the 
revision	of	the	original	estimates,	if	any,	is	recognised	in	profit	or	loss	such	that	the	cumulative	expense	reflects	the	revised	estimate,	with	
corresponding	adjustment	to	the	employee	equity	settled	benefits	reserve.

The	Group’s	treasury	function	includes	the	management	of	the	Group’s	financial	assets	and	commitments	including	ensuring	adequate	
procedures	and	controls	are	in	place	to	manage	financial	risks.	These	risks	include	market	risk	(including	currency	and	interest	rate	risk)	
credit risk and liquidity risk.

A Treasury Policy has been approved by the Board and provides guidelines for conducting treasury activities. Compliance with this Policy 
is monitored through internal audit procedures and subsequent reporting to the Audit and Risk Committee.

The	Group	seeks	to	minimise	the	effects	of	these	risks,	by	using,	where	considered	appropriate,	derivative	financial	instruments	to	hedge	
these	risk	exposures.	The	allowable	financial	derivatives	and	conditions	for	their	use	are	documented	in	the	Treasury	Policy.	The	Group	
does	not	enter	into	or	trade	financial	instruments	including	derivative	financial	instruments	for	speculative	purposes.

Market risk

The	Group’s	activities	expose	it	primarily	to	the	financial	risks	of	changes	in	foreign	currency	exchange	rates	and	interest	rates.	Where	
required,	the	Group	can	enter	into	a	range	of	derivative	financial	instruments	to	manage	its	exposure	to	these	risks.

At a Group level, these market risks are managed through sensitivity analysis. There is no change in the manner in which these risks are 
managed and measured in the current year.

Foreign currency risk management 

The	Group	undertakes	transactions	denominated	in	foreign	currencies.	Consequently,	exposures	to	exchange	rate	fluctuations	arise.	
Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilising forward foreign exchange contracts, when it is 
considered appropriate.

The	carrying	amounts	of	the	Group’s	foreign	currency	denominated	monetary	assets	and	monetary	liabilities	at	the	end	of	the	financial	
year	are	as	follows:

Foreign currency sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the currencies in the below table.

The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase in the Australian Dollar against the relevant foreign currencies. The 
10% sensitivity represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity 
analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the period end for a 10% 
change	in	foreign	currency	rates.	A	positive	number	below	indicates	an	increase	in	profit	or	equity	where	the	Australian	dollar	strengthens	
10% against the relevant currency. For a 10% weakening of the Australian Dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal 
and	opposite	impact	on	the	profit	or	equity.

(i) 

The current and comparative year USD impact relates to the translation from the functional currencies of the Group’s foreign entities 
into Australian Dollars. 

The	AUD:USD	exchange	rate	decreased	significantly	during	the	period,	from	$0.75	to	$0.69.	This	has	resulted	in	the	current	period	having	
larger exchange movements on items within Other Comprehensive Income and Statement of Cash Flows.

Interest rate risk management

The	Group	is	exposed	to	interest	rate	risk	because	it	borrows	funds	primarily	at	floating	interest	rates.	The	risk	is	managed	by	the	Group	
by	the	use	of	interest	rate	swap	contracts	when	considered	appropriate.	Hedging	activities	are	evaluated	regularly	to	align	with	interest	
rate	views	ensuring	the	most	cost-effective	hedging	strategies	are	applied,	if	required.	At	this	point	in	the	interest	rate	cycle	the	Group	is	
unhedged.

The	Group’s	exposures	to	interest	rates	on	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	are	detailed	in	the	liquidity	risk	management	section	of	
this note.

Interest rate sensitivity analysis

The	sensitivity	analysis	below	has	been	determined	based	on	the	exposure	to	interest	rates	at	the	end	of	the	reporting	period.	For	floating	
rate liabilities, the analysis is prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding 
for the whole year. A 100 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management 
personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

At reporting date, if interest rates had been 100 basis points higher / lower and all other variables were held constant, the impact on 
the	net	profit	of	the	Group	would	be	a	decrease/increase	in	net	profit	of:	$1,154,188	(2021:	decrease	/	increase	by	$1,634,997).	The	
decrease in the exposure to interest rates on its variable borrowings is attributable to the $48m reduction in the loan facility during the 
current	financial	year.

Credit risk management

Credit	risk	refers	to	the	risk	that	a	counterparty	will	default	on	its	contractual	obligations	resulting	in	financial	loss	to	the	Group.	The	credit	
worthiness of each customer is assessed to ensure minimal default risk. The Group’s exposures to its counterparties are continuously 
monitored by management. Where appropriate, the Group obtains guarantees from customers. Cash terms, advance payments or letters 
of credit are requested from customers of lower credit standing.

Trade	receivables	consist	of	a	large	number	of	customers	spread	across	the	offshore	oil	and	gas	exploration,	development	and	production	
industries, renewables industries, governments and defence and across diverse geographical areas. Ongoing credit evaluation is 
performed	on	the	financial	condition	of	trade	receivables.

5.  Other Notes (continued)

5.8  Financial Instruments (continued)

Debtor	concentration	risk	is	low	with	the	top	three	customers	of	the	Group	making	up	only	28%	(2021:22%)	of	the	total	debtor	balance.	
The	Group	does	not	have	any	significant	credit	risk	exposure	to	any	single	counterparty	or	any	group	of	counterparties	having	similar	
characteristics.	The	Group	defines	counterparties	as	having	similar	characteristics	if	they	are	related	entities.	The	credit	risk	on	the	three	
largest receivables is managed through regular meetings with the customers, on-going contractual arrangements and regular receipts for 
the balances outstanding.

The	credit	risk	on	liquid	funds	and	derivative	financial	instruments	is	limited	because	the	counterparties	are	banks	with	high	credit	ratings	
assigned by international credit rating agencies.

The	carrying	amount	of	financial	assets	recognised	in	the	financial	statements,	which	is	net	of	impairment	losses,	represents	the	Group’s	
maximum exposure to credit risk.

The	table	below	details	the	credit	quality	of	the	Group’s	financial	assets.

For	trade	receivables,	the	Group	has	applied	the	simplified	approach	in	AASB	9	to	measure	the	loss	allowance	at	lifetime	ECL	(refer

Liquidity risk management

The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate cash reserves, borrowing facilities, continuously monitoring forecast and actual 
cash	flows	and	managing	credit	terms	with	customers	and	suppliers.

Liquidity and interest risk tables

The	following	tables	detail	the	Group’s	remaining	contractual	maturity	for	its	non-derivative	financial	liabilities	with	agreed	repayment	
periods.	The	tables	have	been	drawn	up	based	on	the	undiscounted	cash	flows	of	financial	liabilities	based	on	the	earliest	date	on	which	
the	Group	can	be	required	to	pay.	The	table	includes	both	interest	and	principal	cash	flows.	To	the	extent	that	interest	flows	are	at	floating	
rate, the undiscounted amount is derived from current interest rates at the end of the reporting period.

5.10  Contingent Liabilities

The Group has been in discussions regarding the interpretation of casual employee entitlement to long service leave (LSL) entitlements, 
and in particular the years of service required to be able to access LSL. The Company is currently evaluating its long service leave 
arrangements for its casual employees to determine whether the Company has any contingent liability in this regard. 

Guarantees given to third parties in respect of dealings, are in the normal course of business. Total amount of the guarantee facility is 
$20.0	million	(2021:	$20.0	million)	with	total	drawn	amounts	of	$2.0	million	(2021:$2.8	million)

The	Directors	consider	that	the	carrying	amounts	of	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	recognised	in	the	consolidated	financial	
statements approximate their fair values.

The	fair	values	of	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	are	determined	as	follows:

•  The	fair	values	of	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	with	standard	terms	and	conditions	and	traded	on	active	liquid	markets	are	

determined with reference to quoted market prices.

•  The	fair	values	of	other	financial	assets	and	financial	liabilities	(excluding	derivative	instruments)	are	determined	in	accordance	with	

generally	accepted	pricing	models	based	on	discounted	cash	flow	analysis.

5.9  Operating Lease Arrangements

Operating	leases,	in	which	the	Group	is	the	lessor,	relate	to	the	hire	of	vessels	owned	by	the	Group	and	sub	lease	of	yard	and	office	
facilities	with	lease	terms	of	between	one	month	to	five	years,	with	a	range	of	one	day	to	five	years	extension	options.	

During the comparative year the Group entered a contract to sublease a substantial portion of the Company’s shipyard facility in Batam, 
Indonesia.	The	sublease	commenced	on	15	April	2021	and	was	for	a	firm	period	of	three	years.	The	Group	also	granted	WASCO	an	
option to purchase the interest in the Facility for a purchase price of US$15 million. When WASCO exercised the option in April 2022, 
the terms of the lease were renegotiated with total rent payable under the sublease now being A$0.8 million. Please refer to Note 3.11 
Unearned Revenue for further details. The sublease will terminate upon completion of the purchase.

The initial accounting for the acquisition has only been provisionally determined at the time of signing this report. The necessary review of 
final	balances	and	other	calculations	had	not	been	finalised	and	the	fair	value	of	trade	&	other	receivables,	property	plant	and	equipment	
have therefore only been provisionally determined based on the directors’ best estimate of the likely fair value.

The Goodwill arising from the acquisition is considered to consist of the enhanced capability to service our existing markets through 
combination	of	service	offerings,	access	to	new	markets	with	significant	potential	for	growth,	benefits	of	market	consolidation	through	the	
combination of MMA’s existing subsea stabilisation business with Subcon and cost synergies arising. 

The gross contractual value of receivables acquired was $1.3 million, with the full fair value amount expected to be collected.  

The $4.2 million cash consideration was paid as a deposit on the transaction on 22 June 2022.
