Help us provide more recycling options for foreign ships visiting Australian ports. By taking part in the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry's (DAFF’s) survey, you will contribute to data used in the maritime recycling risk assessment trial. The risk assessment will investigate the level of biosecurity risk associated with different recyclable materials and how these risks can be effectively mitigated. We will use the findings to provide more options for foreign ships to safely recycle their waste in Australian ports. If you are an Australian port authority or shipping operator and would like to participate in the maritime recycling risk assessment trial, visit the DAFF website to participate: https://ow.ly/ZJRO50RMN2f #HaveYourSay #AMSAIsListening #CleanSeas #GreenShipping Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry

In the spirit of International Day for Women in Maritime today we asked women in maritime what the day means to them. Here's what they had to say: ‘International Day for Women in Maritime means positive change and growth in our industry. We are seeing new job opportunities in all aspects of maritime and logistics — its super exciting!’ ‘Say yes to opportunity and you don’t know where you will end up — there’s such a broad range of experiences to be had.’ Their voices resonate the progress and opportunity for women to enter and shape the maritime industry. The theme of International Day for Women in Maritime this year is ‘Safe Horizons: Women Shaping the Future of Maritime Safety’.

On watch, experience counts. The need to have someone ‘on watch’ when a vessel is at anchor is an important operational risk assessment consideration. Environmental factors like wind and tidal changes, surroundings, and proximity to other vessels are all important factors to consider when determining if a continuous anchor watch is required. To perform an anchor watch, a person must hold appropriate certification or be supervised by someone else who does.
