Certification Procedure
The certification procedure is explained in full on the Australian Maritime Safety Authority website
Also available is the "Application For Certificate of Insurance" form on their web site, which can be found at
http://www.amsa.gov.au/Forms/AMSA350B.pdf.
AMSA will accept electronic blue cards issued by IG Clubs and will issue certificates to vessels registered in non-State parties if a certificate has not already been obtained from another party and the vessel will be entering an Australian port.
AMSA initially indicated that Australian registered ships will be required to have a Bunkers Certificate issued by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) even if they have already obtained a certificate from another country that is a party the Bunkers Convention. After concerns raised by the Secretariat, AMSA has agreed that that Australian registered owners do not need to obtain Australian issued Bunkers certificates for 09/10 policy year if they are already in possession of a certificate issued by another State party. The onus is on the owner and their Club to ensure the Certificate they already maintain on board is valid.
