Focused inspection campaign—safety of navigation

The purpose of the focussed inspection campaign is to determine:

the level of compliance with the safety of navigation requirements of International Conventions.
the familiarity of the master and officers with their processes for ensuring safety of navigation.

Inspection process

AMSA surveyors will undertake the FIC in conjunction with a normal port or flag State control inspection. Any port State control deficiencies will be reported to regional port State control databases.

We encourage ship owners and masters to familiarise themselves with the requirements of SOLAS Chapter V, Australian Marine Order 27 and their safety management systems implemented onboard.

Inspectors will complete a checklist when conducting focused inspections so that we can collate and report on the outcomes.

Outcome of the focused inspection campaign

The results of the FIC have been analysed and the report is now available.
