What happens when a report is made to the Inspectorate

As the Inspectorate, AMSA assess Incident Alerts and Reports and decides what further action is required.

Further action may involve:

  • Notifying the Regional Manager that an investigation is required
  • Contacting the shipping company to identify what internal actions have been undertaken, and in particular the preventative strategies that have been put in place
  • Assessing the need for a Marine Notice or other alert regarding the type of incident
  • Liaising with the OH&S Representatives regarding investigation, prevention strategies and/or the need for an industry wide audit.
