Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law

Transport Operations (Marine Safety-Domestic Commercial Vessel National Law Application) Bill 2015

This bill closes a regulatory gap by bringing the last 5% of Queensland's commercial boats under the national marine safety system. It applies the Commonwealth's Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law to vessels owned by individuals, sole traders and partnerships that operate only in Queensland waters, so every commercial vessel in the state follows the same national safety rules.
