Our role in working with the offshore industry.

If you have an offer of employment on a ship registered on the Australian International Shipping Register (AISR), you may need a certificate of equivalence (CoE). A CoE allows you to work on an AISR-registered ship using your overseas STCW certificate, without an AMSA-issued certificate of competency or certificate of recognition.

You have a responsibility not to pollute the sea, and to be aware of the laws about oil and garbage pollution from vessels, including fishing vessels.

Check current fees for STCW certificates, assessments and related services. All fees are in Australian dollars (AUD).

Residual current devices minimise the risk of a person receiving an electric shock or being electrocuted when using plug-in electrical equipment on board vessels.
