If you hold a valid STCW certificate issued by another country and want to work on an Australian-flagged vessel, you need a certificate of recognition (CoR). In some countries this is called a recognition endorsement.
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.
Trajectory models can help predict spill behaviour in the marine environment. If you are from one of our National Plan partner agencies, you can request a spill trajectory model when an oil or chemical spill occurs.
This user guide sets out the process for the submission of surveys reports and recommendations to AMSA relating to DCV which are applying for, or hold, a Certificate of Survey, a Load Line Certificate, or an Exemption 40 approval.
If you own or operate a domestic commercial vessel, there are a number of practicalities you will need to consider, including keeping your vessel and crew trained, safe and compliant.
