List of commercial vessels with a vessel permission

Download a list of DCVs that hold a certificate of survey or exemption here.

You can download a list of domestic commercial vessels that currently hold a Certificate of Survey, non-survey vessel approval or a Class C restricted operations approval.

You can search or filter the list by:

  • the vessel name
  • the displayed identifier, or
  • the AMSA-issued unique vessel identifier (UVI). 

The UVI will give you the most accurate result (these numbers were issued by AMSA after 1 July 2018). Identifiers that were issed before 1 July 2018 by a state of Northern Territory marine safety agency may not return accurate results. 

A vessel might not appear in the list if its permission was issued by a state or territory marine safety agency before 1 July 2018, and is:

  • a non-survey (exemption 02) vessel, or
  • a vessel under Restricted C operations (exemption 40) approvals.

You can contact us if your vessel isn't in the list. 

The list does not provide information about a vessel's Certificate of Operation. 

Download the complete list of DCVs with vessel permission [XLSX, 606.71KB] as an Excel file.

This list is only valid at the time the file was last updated.

If you require more information about a vessel that you own, please contact us. If you are not the owner, please make a Freedom of Information request to AMSA.
