This regulation fills gaps in the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law by defining which craft count as domestic commercial vessels, preserving pre‑2013 certificates and certain state criminal offences, and setting fees.
It also establishes a national accreditation scheme for marine surveyors (experience, qualifications, insurance, categories, and regulator powers). It affects commercial vessel owners, operators and crew, surveyors, training organisations and AMSA.
