We want your feedback on proposed changes to vessel reporting systems.
Following fatal and non-fatal incidents, we are consulting on opportunities to improve safety on passenger vessels in three key areas:
- Monitoring and accounting for passengers on board vessels.
- Preventing passengers from falling overboard.
- In the event a passenger does fall overboard-ensuring they can be retrieved quickly and safely.
We are interested in understanding:
- If or how these key areas are currently being addressed in passenger vessel operators' safety management systems.
- Whether safety management systems are the best place to deal with these key areas, or
- whether additional prescriptive regulation is required.
Safety is our key focus and we want to know what practical steps we can take to ensure the safety of the travelling public.
