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.

Prevention from marine pollution is imperative to protect Australia’s unique marine environments and the livelihoods of thousands of Australians.

There are mandatory minimum requirements for your certificates under the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers 1978 (STCW).

The safety and medical equipment you need will depend on your vessel and operation.

Most services for operators and crew of domestic commercial vessels are now provided by us instead of Transport Safety Victoria.

On the morning 28 June 1999, a discharge occurred from an offshore loading connection to the Mobil Port Stanvac Refinery in South Australia.

It is mandatory under Australian law for certain vessels and fixed or floating platforms to carry a garbage management plan, display placards and maintain a garbage record book.

We have a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Australian Antarctic Division.

AMSA has a fair, and non-discriminatory procurement complaints handling process.
