In issue 10, read about how safe vessel access is essential for the safety of everyone involved. Including embarking and disembarking a vessel, gangways and the crew who rig them.
AMSA’s Head of Vessel Safety and Cargo Systems David Anderson has been elected Chair the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Sub-Committee on Carriage of Cargoes and Containers (CCC).
All vessels involved in a marine incident in Australian waters need to make a report. If you have an emergency dial 000 or 112 (satellite phone) for help.
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.
We meet our obligations to government by being transparent and reporting on our activities and operations.
