AMSA（Australian Maritime Safety Authority）は、新たにMaritime Notice(2018/3)を発行し、船主、オペレーターおよび船長に対し、承認された手順に従って貨物コンテナを積載し、固定する必要性を再確認するよう注意喚起しています。

Members are advised that the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has issued a new marine notice (2018/3), reminding vessel owners, operators and masters of the need to stow and secure cargo containers in accordance with approved arrangements.

All cargo, whether carried on or under deck, should be stowed and secured in accordance with the vessels' Cargo Securing Manuals, as approved under the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention.

AMSA further forewarns that if during a Port State Control (PSC) inspection on a vessel evidence of irregularities with the stowage and securing of the containers on board is found, they will take the necessary steps to bring that ship into compliance.
