This exemption is for owners and accredited marine surveyors of domestic commercial vessels (DCVs) who need to be able to operate temporarily without having the required certificates.
This exemption allows DCV owners/operators a time extension for obtaining periodic surveys, or a new certificate of currency for equipment. It also allows them to operate without required compass adjustments, or while a liferaft is being serviced.
Follow these steps if your RAV is no longer carrying out commercial operations outside the Australian Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ) or it's being brought to Australia to operate as a DCV.
