Expected delays due to Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred
Australia Post has closed multiple post offices across south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales and have temporarily paused delivery services across these areas. This will cause delays in the dispatch and delivery of AMSA issued documents such as seafarer certificates.
A VTS provider may on their own initiative apply to have amendments made to their instrument of authority. For example:
- to change the boundaries of the VTS area
- to change details in the instrument of authority that are no longer accurate.
