AMSA is pleased to be a sponsor of the 2023 annual conference of the Maritime Law Association of Australia and New Zealand (MLAANZ), 4-6 October.

We offer nationally recognised units of competency in marine pollution response and incident management.

Seafarers often spend many months working away from family and friends with this situation being made worse if the vessel they are engaged on is involved in a maritime accident

We charge fees for evaluating and approving courses that are delivered by Registered training organisations.

The information you provide in your incident report plays an important part in guiding the way we improve maritime safety for everybody on the water.

Safeguard your vessel and operation with an active maintenance plan.

Using an advanced under keel clearance management (UKCM) system will reduce your chances of running aground.

AMSA approved training organisations delivering Continued competence (Certificate of Safety Training) (COST).

As the national standard is updated, generic equivalent standards (GES) are being superseded.

We gather feedback through consultative committees and public consultation. Feedback from individuals, organisations and government is an important part of policy development and regulatory change.

At approximately 5.30 am WA time on Friday 21 August 2009 the Montara Wellhead mobile drilling unit, located 140 miles offshore from the north-west Australian coast, had an uncontrolled release of hydrocarbons from one of the platform wells. Consequently oil escaped to the surface and gaseous hydrocarbons escaped into the atmosphere.

Shipping containers lost from ships are a cause of pollution in the marine environment.

The global maritime distress and safety system (GMDSS) connects you to coast stations and vessels via satellite and radio communications when you're out at sea.
