This marine notice informs shipowners, operators, masters and bridge watchkeepers of the availability of maritime safety information when navigating through NAVAREA X and METAREA X.
The purpose of this marine notice is to inform cruise vessel masters and operators of AMSA’s policy on limiting sulphur emissions from cruise vessels when at berth in the port of Sydney Harbour.
Domestic commercial vessels must have the right certificates of competency to operate. Check you have the required certificates and make sure your details are up to date.
AMSA port State control inspectors will be using the checklist below when inspecting ships as part of our cargo securing focused inspection campaign. Use this checklist to prepare for the inspection, and to help you ensure your cargo is secure. Below is a sample of the focused inspection campaign checklist.
