New National System
The National System for domestic commercial vessel safety aims to simplify commercial vessel safety requirements by replacing existing state and territory laws with a common National Law. The new system will be in force across Australia on 1 July 2013; Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) will be the National Regulator of domestic commercial vessels and RMS its NSW delegate. As a delegate, RMS will continue to provide the functions and services that it used to provide for domestic commercial vessels and you will continue to deal with RMS for your commercial vessel licensing needs in NSW. For most customers, it will be business as usual.
Most certificates will be nationally recognised, meaning that customers will be able to move from state to state. Locally issued certificates remain valid until they are due for renewal, at which time the national system certificates will be issued. There will be some changes to vessel and crew certificates and their duration. Following are the major changes.
If you need more information at this stage, please contact the commercial vessels section on (02) 95638400. You may also contact AMSA for your operations outside NSW through the national system website link below, or by telephoning their info line on 1300 517 246.
The following list includes areas not covered under the National System, and NSW retains regulatory responsibility for.
