Year: 2021 Language: english Author: AMSA Genre: Research papers Format: PDF Quality: Unknown Pages count: 39 Description: Purpose of this report: Australia has one of the world’s largest mixed market economies and the largest continental landmass surrounded by water. Australia’s national livelihood depends on ensuring maritime trade to and from the country remains safe, efficient and compliant with all relevant international conventions. Australia relies on sea transport for the majority of its imports and exports by weight. Port State control (PSC) is an essential element in ensuring the safe operation of ships and protection of the marine environment. This report summarises the PSC activities of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), detailing the performance of commercial shipping companies, flag States and Classification Societies for the 2020 calendar year. AMSA is a statutory authority established under the Australian Maritime Safety Authority Act 1990 (the AMSA Act). AMSA’s principal functions are: - promoting maritime safety and protection of the marine environment. - Protecting life at sea by enforcing the safe operation of ships. - Preventing and combatting ship-sourced pollution in the marine environment. - Providing infrastructure to support safety of navigation in Australian waters. - Providing a national search and rescue service to the maritime and aviation sectors. AMSA works in close cooperation with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and PSC partner nations across the Asia-Pacific and Indian Ocean regions, sharing PSC information and actively participating in international policy development. These efforts are aimed at ensuring AMSA remains a transparent, trusted and consistent member of the international maritime community. As the flag State for Australian ships, AMSA is responsible for maintaining the operational safety standards of Australian-registered ships, wherever in the world they may be operating.
