The Australian Border Force Vessel Management Plan Volume 1 (approved December 2023) establishes operational and safety management requirements for all ABF vessels across defined operational areas including the Australian Exclusive Economic Zone and Torres Strait Zone. The document addresses Navigation Act compliance frameworks across three chapters: seafarers qualifications and manning requirements, vessel safety standards and certification, and safety of navigation protocols. It outlines alternative compliance measures and risk assessment processes for Navigation Act non-compliances, including standards for statutory/class certification, safe manning statements, and maritime labour conventions. The plan applies to ABF marine unit crews and contract personnel. Additionally, Marine Unit Notice 02/22 (approved May 2022) addresses onboard management procedures for persons testing positive for COVID-19. Both documents establish governance structures for plan validity, amendments, non-compliance reporting, and alignment with ABF Safety Management Systems and workplace health and safety legislation.
