In early 2018 representatives from Fire and Rescue New South Wales (FRNSW) and AMSA boarded the containership ANL Warragul for a three day voyage to test the hazardous and noxious substances (HNS) reconnaissance capability.
The guidelines describe how the International management code for the safe operation of ships and for pollution prevention (ISM code) is applied, the certification process and the responsibilities of AMSA personnel.
This report provides a review of activities undertaken in 2020-21, using the reporting arrangements set out in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2020-21 and the AMSA Corporate Plan 2020-21 (covering the period 2020-21 - 2023-24).
This Marine Notice reminds shipowners, operators, masters, crews, recognised organisations, marine pilots and pilotage providers about their obligation to provide and ensure continued safe pilot transfer arrangements on ships.
The International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) is the main international convention for addressing ship sourced pollution.
