New safety management system (SMS) requirements come into effect for domestic commercial vessels (DCVs) on 1 June 2025, under Marine Order 504 (Certificates of operation – national law) 2024.
This is advice for ship owners and masters. We will undertake a focused inspection campaign (FIC) on cargo securing arrangements from 1 August to 31 October 2020. This is in response to recent events where containers have been lost into the sea off the Australian Coast.
Find out how domestic commercial vessels (DCVs) performed on safety, training, risk assessment and more during our focussed inspections campaign on hazardous gases.
This World Oceans Day, AMSA proudly supports the global theme ‘Sustaining what sustains us’, reflecting our vision for clean seas and a safe, sustainable marine environment.
If you have a boat, you may be considering hiring it out for overnight accommodation via an online platform—for example, Airbnb, Beds on Board or Flotespace—whether at a marina berth, or at a mooring.
