Plain English Summary

8/10 complexity

This law sets mandatory safety and animal‑welfare standards for ships exporting live animals from Australian ports. It requires vessels, crews and handlers to meet certification, construction, ventilation, water/feeding, drainage, power backup and firefighting/humane‑euthanasia equipment standards, and to pass pre‑loading inspections to ensure stability and crew safety. Short voyages and approved portable pens/road vehicles have relaxed or alternative rules. The aim is to protect animals, prevent ship instability and safeguard crews.

37 Livestock mortality

In provision 37:

mortality means, in respect of any species, the percentage determined by dividing the number of deaths of that species occurring while on the ship (including during loading and unloading) by the total number of that species loaded and multiplying the resultant figure by 100;

reportable level has the same meaning as in Standard 5 of the ASEL.

37.1 The master of a ship must provide to the Manager, Ship Inspections, [50] by the most expedient means of communication available, a copy of any notifiable incident report that has been provided to the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service in accordance with Standard 5.11 of the ASEL.

This is a penal provision.

37.2 If the Manager, Ship Inspections, becomes aware, either through a report under 37.1 or otherwise, that the mortality of any one species is equal to or greater than the reportable level, the Manager, Ship Inspections, may direct a surveyor to carry out a preliminary inquiry into the cause or causes of the deaths and as soon as practicable make a report to the Manager, Ship Inspections.

37.3 The Manager, Ship Inspections, may require the owner, operator or master of the ship to provide such information as that officer reasonably considers relevant, including information to monitor the situation on board a ship still engaged on its voyage.

37.4 The owner, operator or master, as appropriate, of the ship must comply with a requirement of the Manager, Ship Inspections, under 37.3.

This is a penal provision.

37.6 A surveyor carrying out a preliminary inquiry may require the owner, operator or master of the ship to provide such information as the surveyor reasonably considers relevant to the inquiry, including information to monitor the situation on board a ship still engaged on its voyage.

37.7 The owner, operator or master, as appropriate, of the ship must comply with a requirement of a surveyor under 37.6.

This is a penal provision.

37.8 A preliminary inquiry carried out under 37.2 may include verification of the continued accuracy of relevant data shown on the ship’s Record of Equipment and Arrangements.

37.9 The Manager, Ship Inspections, may prohibit or impose conditions on the loading of livestock on a ship in respect of which a preliminary inquiry is being, or has been, carried out under 37.2.

37.10 The master of the ship must comply with a prohibition or condition imposed under 37.9.

This is a penal provision.

37.11 After the report of a preliminary inquiry has been completed, the Manager, Ship Inspections, must, as soon as practicable, determine whether circumstances exist that warrant action being taken under provision 10.6 for the suspension of the ship’s Australian Certificate for the Carriage of Livestock.

37.12 If satisfied that circumstances do not exist that warrant action being taken under provision 10.6 for the suspension of the Australian Certificate for the Carriage of Livestock, the Manager, Ship Inspections, is to lift any prohibition or remove any conditions on loading of livestock.
