The RDA continues work under the Derelict Vessels Removal & Disposal Project, with the project progressing beyond the initial scope of works. 

Of the 28 vessels originally identified for removal, an additional five derelict vessels have since been discovered and are currently being processed, bringing the total to 33 derelict vessels.

To date, 31 of the 33 vessels have now been extracted, marking significant progress in advancing the project and addressing long-standing navigational, environmental, and aesthetic concerns within the Territory’s marine spaces.
