P&O Australia was formed in 1961. Its offshore, port and stevedoring interests included Beaufort, Brisbane Wharves, O&G Stevedoring, Carpentaria and Asian Terminals, the latter formed with Filipino interests in January 1996. International Offshore Services was revived with Farstad in December 1997. Offshore Maintenance Services was a venture with Howard Smith, renamed from International Offshore Maintenance Services in 1984. Accounts differ over the ownership and disposal of New Zealand Offshore Services. The later source places the Australian operation under DP World, with P&O Polar Australia as a subsidiary.
