This instrument temporarily exempts voyages between Christmas Island and mainland Australia (or other Australian territories) from the Coastal Trading (Revitalising Australian Shipping) Act 2012’s usual licensing and permit requirements. It only applies where Christmas Island is the origin or destination and cannot be used to carry on coastal trade between two mainland ports on the same trip. The change affects shipping operators serving the island and island residents/businesses reliant on sea transport, and is time‑limited to five years.
