Three Decades of Sourcing What Industry Already Built
An independent Australian supplier of surplus industrial, marine and oil & gas equipment — drawing on the founder's 30+ years of global industry experience. This is the story of how — and why it matters.
Our Story
Our founder's story begins in 1994, with a simple observation: every industrial project, every ship refit, every facility upgrade leaves behind perfectly good equipment that someone, somewhere, urgently needs. The challenge was never the supply or the demand — it was the bridge between them.
Sunrise Marine Australia Pty Ltd was incorporated in April 2026 to formalise operations drawing on the founder's 30+ years of global industry experience dating to 1994. We work with industrial operators, project closures, fleet modernisation programs, and decommissioning teams across Australia and the Asia-Pacific to identify equipment that is technically viable, commercially valuable, and genuinely useful to someone else's operation. Then we supply it — globally, transparently, and at a fraction of new pricing.
Our Background
Sunrise Marine Australia was founded by an industry professional with 30+ years of hands-on experience across India and Australia in marine logistics, oil & gas operations, mining, warehousing, and surplus equipment supply.
The founder's career began in India in 1994, partnering in the original Sunrise Marine operation and building deep expertise in sourcing and supplying surplus industrial equipment to global markets. After relocating to Australia, the founder gained extensive cross-sector experience in mining, oil & gas, engineering, 3PL logistics for the energy sector, and quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) — working across warehousing, supply-chain management, and compliance.
In April 2026, that three decades of global industry knowledge was channelled into incorporating Sunrise Marine Australia Pty Ltd — an independent, Perth-based supplier of genuine surplus industrial, marine, and drilling spares, serving buyers worldwide.
The company is led by a Director who combines entrepreneurial leadership with technical expertise gained across multiple industries and continents. A commitment to quality management, supply chain integrity, safety compliance, and transparent business practices underpins every transaction.
Sunrise Marine Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 61 697 392 706) is an independent Australian company and is not a branch, subsidiary, or affiliate of any other entity operating under a similar name in any other jurisdiction. References to the founder's earlier career are biographical only.
What We Mean by "Surplus"
In this industry, "surplus" is often confused with "used." For us, the two are very different.
