We want to remind operators and masters that, where practical, you must always carry your vessel's certificates and permissions on board.
![Keep your certificates on board](/sites/default/files/styles/news_featured_image/public/keep-your-certificates-on-board.jpg?itok=6CUQGOPK)
This can be in hard copy or an electronic version, such as a copy on your smart phone.
Your vessel's certificates and permissions must be available upon request by an AMSA inspector or our compliance partners.
For hire and drive vessels and non-crewed barges, the owner or operator must be able to provide a copy upon request.
