An operator may apply for an ISM code exemption.
An example of when this may be required is when a domestic commercial vessel wants to conduct a single return voyage to an overseas port for docking.
All ISM code exemptions applications should be sent to AMSA at Ism-fsc@amsa.gov.au and must state the reason for the application using the Exemption/Equivalence application form (AMSA 288).
