Michael Hollis, Managing Director

Michael founded BSC Marine Group in 1994 following some four years as Managing Director of Australian Yacht Builders Pty Ltd (1990 - 1994), a company responsible for building the world's largest privately owned yacht at the time; MSY The Other Woman.

Since 1995 the Group has specialsed in complex custom projects, predominantly commercial, including fast ferries; patrol vessels; sail cruisers; crew boats and special purpose boats. The company has developed project management know-how and capability which does not limit the scale and complexity of projects it is able to undertake. 

From time of inception of the BSC, Michael has committed the company to design excellence and to world best practice in manufacturing systems and sustainable quality assurance.

In R&D since 1998 the company has built seven new in-house BSC designs as prototypes for testing and review of performance and efficiency; seakeeping and engineering systems. Based upon tested and proven hulls, designs have been developed for specialist applications including fast displacement and semi-displacement catamaran ferries (smooth water to open water); high to very high speed monohull patrol boats; and displacement monohulls - in length ranges typically from 20 metres to 60 metres.

Since 1995 the company has committed to in-house development and improvement of software for its project manufacturing systems and document control. This networked software, named ShipShape, brings together all facets of the business and has been the backbone of our project management systems since 1996.

Michael was admitted as a member of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers (SNAME) in 1998. In 1987 Michael obtained his post-graduate masters degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Macquarie University Graduate School of Management, Sydney.

Michael has been an active member of various industry associations over the years and was a director of the Australian Shipbuilding Association from 1999 to 2004.
