The Australian Maritime Safety Authority National Compliance Plan 2021-22 provides practical guidance and a clear view of AMSA's five compliance focus areas over the next year.
Of particular interest to the international shipping industry are focus areas one and two.
Focus area 1 — Port State and Flag State Control
- AMSA will continue to meet port state control inspection rates based on vessel priority rating.
- AMSA will also focus efforts on safe navigation procedures and training, in addition to ensuring vessels are carrying out planned maintenance.
Focus area 2 — Maritime Labour Convention (MLC)
- AMSA will continue to follow up on 100% of maritime labour convention complaints.
- AMSA will also continue to enforce the maximum continuous service onboard requirements, in addition to a focus on the hours of work and hours of rest in accordance with the MLC.
It is hoped that the provision of this information will help members of the shipping industry ensure their operations are compliant with Australian requirements.
