9‑28 Revocation of suspension of bulk vessel approval

(1) If: (a) a bulk vessel approval is suspended under subsection 9‑27(1); and (b) the Secretary is satisfied there is no reason why the suspension should not be revoked; the Secretary may revoke the suspension by written notice to: (c) a person responsible for the bulk vessel; and (d) if the bulk vessel is at a registered establishment and the occupier of the establishment, or another person who manages or controls export operations at the establishment, is not a person responsible for the bulk vessel—the occupier of the establishment or another person who manages or controls export operations at the establishment. (2) For the purposes of deciding whether to revoke the suspension of a bulk vessel approval, the Secretary may do any of the following: (a) carry out an inspection of the bulk vessel; (aa) make a video recording of an inspection carried out under paragraph (a); (b) request a person who the Secretary reasonably believes has information or documents that are relevant to the Secretary’s decision, to answer questions, provide information in writing or produce the documents; (c) request a person who the Secretary considers may be able to provide facilities or assistance to the Secretary in carrying out an inspection of the vessel, to provide those facilities or that assistance.

Note: A third party authorised officer who carries out an inspection of a bulk vessel under paragraph (a) of this subsection, as delegate of the Secretary, must make a video recording of the inspection (see section 9‑19A).

Revocation of suspension by authorised officer (3) If, as delegate of the Secretary, an authorised officer revokes the suspension of a bulk vessel approval under subsection (1), the authorised officer must, as soon as practicable after revoking the suspension and in addition to the requirement in subsection (1), give written notice of the revocation to the Secretary.
