We have released the updated Surveyor Accreditation Guidance Manual Part 2 (SAGM2).

This manual outlines the standards and criteria required for the survey of domestic commercial vessels by Accredited Marine Surveyors and recognised organisations, ensuring that Accredited Marine Surveyors and recognised organisations adhere to consistent practices.

Key changes in SAGM2:

  • The introduction of updated technical standards to improve survey accuracy.
  • Enhanced safety protocols to ensure the highest level of vessel safety.
  • Revised operational criteria to streamline survey processes and increase efficiency.

Surveyors and organisations are encouraged to review the manual thoroughly to ensure compliance with the latest standards and practices. For more information, please see our website or contact the AMSA connect team.

Consultation feedback report available

The updated SAGM2 has been developed in close consultation with industry.

In February 2024, AMSA sought feedback on the proposed changes to the SAGM2 through a public consultation.

The consultation feedback report, which includes valuable insights and suggestions from stakeholders, is now available. This feedback has been instrumental in refining and finalising the updated manual.
