ABOUT AMSA
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) is responsible for the safety of international shipping and domestic commercial vessels, protection of the environment from ship sourced pollution and search and rescue nationally.

AMSA’s functions are broad ranging from developing policy and regulation, to approvals and compliance and incident management.
We work with a range of stakeholders across governments, industry and the community reflecting the complexity, challenges and opportunities in our business. Our vision connects them all and inspires our talented people to make a real difference every day - “Safe and clean seas, saving lives”.
