Application for class C restricted operations

Overview 

You can use this form to apply for a class C restricted operations permit under Marine Safety (Class C restricted operations) Exemption 2018 [1] (also known as Exemption 40 or EX40) instead of a certificate of survey [2].

We must receive the required vessel survey reports before your application can be progressed.

If the vessel survey is complete, please ensure your surveyor submits the survey reports to us promptly.

If your vessel is yet to be surveyed, we will need the survey reports to be provided before your application can be assessed.

Eligibility criteria 

Your vessel must:

  • be less than 12 metres long
  • be a Class 2 (non-passenger) or Class 3 (fishing) vessel
  • only operate in the part of operational area C, D and E waters that is approved for the vessel’s length
  • comply with the conditions specified in Schedule 1 of the exemption 
  • undergo an initial survey by an accredited marine surveyor [3].
