National Environmental Maritime Operations (NEMO) is an incident management system used to manage and monitor national maritime environmental emergencies.
The purpose of this marine notice is to draw attention to the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) non-mandatory revised guidelines for the reduction of underwater radiated noise from shipping to address adverse impacts on marine life.
We implement the regulations under the Maritime Labour Convention 2006 in Australia via supporting legislation which applies to all commercial vessels.
Do a lifejacket risk assessment. Your safety, and the safety of your passengers and crew, depends on it. Wearing a lifejacket can help prevent a tragic incident.
The guidelines describe how the International management code for the safe operation of ships and for pollution prevention (ISM code) is applied, the certification process and the responsibilities of AMSA personnel.
The International safety management code (ISM code) governs the safe operation of ships and pollution prevention. We are responsible for issuing ISM code certification for Australian registered vessels, however AMSA has authorised recognised organisations to conduct this service.
