Find out about the automatic identification system (AIS).

National Environmental Maritime Operations (NEMO) is an incident management system used to manage and monitor national maritime environmental emergencies.

We are committed to nurturing your development and helping you reach your goals.

We are responsible for leading national policy on vessel traffic services (VTS).

This course is designed for marine pollution responders who may be part of an aircrew to investigate and report on an oil spill.

This marine notice highlights the importance of ensuring navigation bridge visibility on all vessels sailing in Australian waters. Vessel operators, masters and navigational officers should take note of its content.

Since 2006, we have provided an emergency towing vessel in the Torres Strait and Great Barrier Reef to protect the marine environment.

Commonwealth legislation requires a verified gross mass (VGM) be supplied before a container can be loaded onto a ship.

Our employees are expected to abide by the AMSA Code of conduct.

Australia’s policy is that those who pollute our marine environment should be responsible for cleaning up and repairing the damage they have caused. If AMSA has to do this because they do not, then they should pay AMSA.

AMSA occasionally seeks help and support from private companies to deliver its Search and Rescue (SAR) services.

Our search and rescue modules provide background information as well as information about preparation, principles of how to conduct a search and rescue operation and how to respond to specific kinds of emergency.

We collect and analyse information from reported marine incidents to improve safety across the maritime industry.

In accessing myAMSA, you agree to be bound and abide by these Terms of Use.

These documents will guide you through submitting survey reports and recommendations for domestic commercial vessels.

An unexpected wind-shift during parasailing operations caused 2 airborne passengers to contact the water at speed. They were recovered by the vessel and returned to shore. Both passengers later informed the operator that they had sustained injuries during the event. The owner then failed to report this as a marine incident to us.
