Honouring the Traditional Custodians of the places we work, one region at a time.
For the second chapter of BM Across Country, we travel north to Murujuga (Dampier), Pilbara.
The Pilbara has been part of Bhagwan Marine’s journey since our earliest years. In 2009, the acquisition of Dalmarine established our permanent operating presence in Dampier, laying the foundations for what is today Bhagwan Marine Dampier Port Services. Today, Dampier remains one of our key operational hubs supporting marine services across the Pilbara and Australia’s North West.
We acknowledge the Ngarda-Ngarli Traditional Custodians of this region - the Ngarluma, Yaburara, Mardudhunera, Yindjibarndi and Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo people and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. We recognise their enduring connection to Country, culture, community and sea, and the knowledge and stewardship that has cared for this place for countless generations.
This year’s NAIDOC Week theme, 50 Years of Deadly celebrates the strength, leadership and enduring legacy of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people recognising those who came before, those shaping communities today, and the generations who will carry culture and Country into the future.
As we reflect on this milestone, we recognise that our own history in the Pilbara forms only a small part of a much longer story. Through BM Across Country we acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the regions where we operate and recognise that every place has a history, culture and connection to Country that long predates our own.
50 Years of Deadly.
