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.
AMSA has arrangements in place to enable specified positions within the organisation to exercise a function, power or duty assigned to the Chief Executive Officer under marine safety and environmental protection of the sea legislation.
This marine notice informs shipowners, operators, masters and bridge watchkeepers of the availability of maritime safety information when navigating through NAVAREA X and METAREA X.
We have a joint memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority. The MOU supports safety and environmental management for the offshore energy sector.
