AMSA Connect phone services may have longer wait times on Monday 1 June 2026 while we operate with reduced staffing due to the Reconciliation Day Public Holiday in Canberra. Our search and rescue team will continue to operate during this time.
Our compliance strategy will help us focus our efforts on promoting voluntary regulatory compliance. It will ensure that we consider six important elements as we work with industry to promote maritime safety and to protect the marine environment.
This Marine Notice reminds shipowners, operators, masters, crews, recognised organisations, marine pilots and pilotage providers about their obligation to provide and ensure continued safe pilot transfer arrangements on ships.
