Cooma Cooma

The Cooma Cooma is a heavy draft landing craft servicing remote communities across Northern Australia.


Servicing North Kimberley Airport (formerly Mungalalu-Truscott Airbase) for several decades fortnightly or as required, the Cooma Cooma supplies around 76,000 Litres of Jet A1 weekly, along with Diesel and Av Gas.


We also ensure all frozen/chilled/dry goods, materials, and equipment, as well as fuels, are transported.
