FNS was established to involve Indigenous people in ship ownership and management, addressing a critical gap in Australia’s export infrastructure. Despite being one of the largest exporting nations globally, Australia has a disproportionately small shipping fleet. FNS seeks to remedy this by offering innovative and out-of-the-box solutions tailored to the needs of the shipping industry. The company engages with significant mineral exporting companies, providing reliable and efficient shipping services. FNS aims to build a robust, competitive shipping fleet that enhances Australia’s export capabilities by fostering Indigenous participation in the maritime industry. This initiative boosts the nation’s economic performance and creates sustainable career opportunities for Indigenous Australians in the shipping and maritime sectors.
