Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2018-02-28.
The bill would update Australian law to match international shipping pollution rules.
It would require shippers to label solid bulk cargoes as harmful or not harmful to the marine environment and tell the ship's captain.
The bill also makes a minor correction to a reference in the Protection of the Sea (Prevention of Pollution from Ships) Act 1983 and removes a requirement for regulations to specify how a levy notice is delivered.
- Implement amendments to Annex V of MARPOL in Australian law.
- Require shippers to classify solid bulk cargoes as harmful or non-harmful to the marine environment.
- Remove the need for regulations to prescribe the manner of serving a Protection of the Sea levy notice.
