Shipping Registration Services
AMSA provides the ship registration service for the maritime and fishing industries and the boating community pursuant to the Commonwealth Shipping Registration Act 1981 as part of its General Counsel bureau.
The number of ships on the Register increased by 145 during 2003-2004 with 9,185 registered at 30 June 2004, compared with 9,040 registered at 30 June 2003. There were 219 ships registered during the year.
AMSA has been contributing to the development by the Department of Transport and Regional Services of a maritime legislation amendment package. This includes proposed amendments to the Shipping Registration Act 1981 in line with certain recommendations of the regulatory review of the legislation to restructure and modernise the Australian Register of Ships. The amending legislation is expected to be introduced into Federal Parliament in 2004-2005.
