Standards for vessels used for special work.

A charter vessel with passengers was conducting a cruise around Sydney Harbour when it narrowly missed an unlit runabout at night. The vessel ran aground, and two attempts to tow the vessel off the sandbank were unsuccessful. The investigation found that the master did not risk-assess the route and respective conditions. The vessel safety management system provided the master with no clear direction on safe routes to follow. The command, control, and communication with and between the crew in relation to emergency procedures and response was ineffective.

The purpose of this marine notice is to inform shipowners, operators, masters, crews, recognised organisations and marine pilots that the Australian Hydrographic Office (AHO) has ceased printing some nautical publications.
