INCAT Tasmania has won theSustainability and Green Economy Awardat the 2025 Tasmanian Export Awards, recognising the company’s leadership in sustainable shipbuilding. 

The award category, sponsored by the Port of Melbourne, celebrates businesses demonstrating outstanding innovation and impact in advancing sustainable practices.
