Summary

Part of a package of three bills to enable the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) to recover the costs of delivering services under the National System for Domestic Commercial Vessel Safety, the bill amends the:

Australian Maritime Safety Authority Act 1990
to enable the payment of the amount of the domestic commercial vessel levy to the AMSA;
Marine Navigation (Regulatory Functions) Levy Collection Act 1991
to clarify that leviable domestic commercial vessels are exempt from the Marine Navigation (Regulations Functions) Levy; and
Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012
to enable the AMSA to suspend or revoke certificates of survey or detain a domestic commercial vessel in response to non-payment of the domestic commercial vessel levy.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
