Episode #02: QSIA - AMSA Podcast - Certificate of Operation

Now is the time to renew your AMSA Certificates of Operation

In the next few months, most 5-year certificates of operation for Queensland fishing vessels will be due for renewal.  To renew your Certificate of Operation:

• If you have more than one vessel and separate certificates for each vessel – consider consolidating all your vessels onto a single certificate of operation when you make your renewal. This will save you money as the single 5-year certificate will cost $200 for all your boats, rather than $200 for each boat on separate certificates.  Where possible, please provide a copy of all the current certificates with your application.
• If you would like to renew your certificate, can provide a copy of the current certificate and do not want to make any changes, you can apply using the following: AMSA Form 553
• If you would like to renew your certificate, are unable to provide a copy of the current certificate,  please apply using AMSA Form 504 and select the new a certificate option.

If you want to make changes or consolidate all your vessels into a single certificate you will need to select the option to ‘make a change’ or ‘apply for a new certificate’ on the AMSA form 504.

If you need any further help, call AMSA Connect on 1800 627 484, 8am-7pm weekdays.

Please ensure you renew your certificates on time or a Temporary Operations permission will be required to continue operating.
