Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This direction temporarily exempts ships on direct voyages between Christmas Island and Australian ports from Part VI of the Navigation Act 1912, enabling vessels (including foreign‑registered ones meeting international standards) to operate the route without full Australian domestic safety certification. It runs from 8 April 2004 to 7 April 2007 and does not cover voyages that constitute domestic coastal trading (calls at one Australian port, Christmas Island, then another Australian port).
