MASTREP Ship Reporting for the Australian Area The Modernised Australian Ship Tracking and Reporting System (MASTREP) as described in Marine Order 63 Vessel Reporting Systems, effective 1 January 2016, is used to track the location of vessels. Under this system: • positional reporting for vessels is sourced from the vessel’s Automatic Identification System (AIS); • Sailing Plans, Deviation Reports and Final Reports are not required; • communications with vessels continue to be available through Inmarsat, HF, satellite telephony and other means; • Special Reports are required to support AMSA’s role in shipping oversight and incident reporting management. MASTREP is operated by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) as part of the services offered by the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC Australia). JRCC Australia is staffed 24 hours per day. Benefits of MASTREP MASTREP is designed to minimise the reporting requirements on vessels using International Marine Organization (IMO) mandated AIS technology to provide positional advice to AMSA. It: • increases the timeliness and accuracy of data collected from a much larger number of vessels plying the waters within the Australian Search and Rescue Region (SRR); • provides AMSA with the capability to significantly improve its pollution, marine casualty and search and rescue (SAR) incident responses through faster and more effective management of incidents and resources; • ensures that only the closest vessels will be requested to assist in a SAR incident reducing the need for vessels to steam long distances from their intended voyage plan. MASTREP Coverage Area The area of coverage is identical for both MASTREP and the SRR. Coordinates of this area are: The coast of the Antarctic continent in longitude 75°E thence: 6°00’S 75°00’E 9°37’S 141°01’06”E 2°00’S 78°00’E 9°08’S 143°53’E 2°00’S 92°00’E 9°24’S 144°13’E 12°00’S 107°00’E 12°00’S 144°00’E 12°00’S 123°20’E 12°00’S 155°00’E 9°20’S 126°50’E 14°00’S 155°00’E 7°00’S 135°00’E 14°00’S 161°15’E 9°50’S 139°40’E 17°40’S 163°00’E 9°50’S 141°00’E thence to the coast of the

Transmitting Position Reports MASTREP uses Position Reports, which must be transmitted by AIS in accordance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), Chapter 5, Regulation 19.2.4. Position Reports must include the following information: i. identity; ii. type; iii. position; iv. course; v. speed; vi. navigational status; vii. safety related information. The Master of a vessel must report any malfunction of the vessel’s AIS equipment to JRCC Australia in accordance with Section 186 of the Navigation Act 2012. Australian Mandatory Reporting Requirements MASTREP Reporting Marine Order 63 makes the provision of Position Reports mandatory for: • foreign vessels from the arrival at its first port in Australia until its departure from its final port in Australia; and • all regulated Australian vessels whilst in the MASTREP area. Domestic commercial vessels fitted with Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and AIS technology are also encouraged to participate in the system as MASTREP assists AMSA in carrying out SAR activities. REEFREP Reporting Marine Order 63 states the requirements to report to REEFVTS. Participation in MASTREP does not remove the continued obligation of mandatory reporting to REEFVTS. Further information on the system is published in the Great Barrier Reef & Torres Strait Vessel Traffic Service (REEFVTS) User Guide which can be obtained from AMSA’s website: www.amsa.gov.au. Marine Incident Reporting All Marine Incidents are to be reported to AMSA using form ‘AMSA 18’ and form ‘AMSA 19’. Copies of these forms can be obtained from the AMSA website www.amsa.gov.au. Examples of incidents include the loss, death or serious injury of a person, the loss of or damage to a vessel, equipment failure, a collision or a pollution event. Reports should be made in accordance to the requirements of the Navigation Act 2012, Marine Orders, and the Occupational Health and Safety (Maritime Industry) Act 1993, as applicable. Non-Mandatory Reporting Masters wishing to send information to JRCC Australia or the Maritime Assistance Service, other than that which is mandated to be reported under the relevant legislation identified in the Marine Incident Reporting section, should complete an Information Report using the standard international ship reporting format as set out IMO Resolution A.851 (20)*. Examples of non-mandatory reports include notification of navigational hazards, vessel defects or deficiencies, or other limitations which could adversely affect navigation. Special Report Types Special Report Types include those for Dangerous Goods (DG), Harmful Substances (HS), and Marine Pollutants (MP). Special Reports should follow the guidelines for reporting as set out in IMO Resolution A.851 (20), as amended by IMO Resolution MEPC.138 (53)* as amended from time to time. See Table 1 on page 4 for report format requirements.

Concept of OperationsMASTREP uses Position Reports, which must be transmitted by AIS in accordance with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), Chapter 5, Regulation 19.2.4.Position reporting is automated and the data is fed in to the system using AIS – either collected terrestrially or by satellite. Positional data is updated at time intervals between five minutes and five hours depending on the location and source. There is no requirement in MASTREP to transmit Sail Plans (SP), Deviation Reports (DR) or Final Reports (FR).No positive SAR watch is maintained in MASTREP. MASTREP is a passive ship reporting system and does not involve shore to vessel communications.ParticipationThe Commonwealth of Australia Navigation Act 2012 and Marine Orders Part 63 makes the provision of Position Reports mandatory for certain vessels. The following vessels must report to MASTREP: foreign vessels from the arrival at its first port in Australia until its departure from its final port in Australia; andall regulated Australian vessels whilst in the MASTREP area.Voluntary ParticipationVessels participating in MASTREP transmit positional data to AMSA Australia. This enables vessels in the vicinity of search and rescue incidents to be determined. To assist AMSA in achieving its purpose, Masters are strongly encouraged to report to MASTREP voluntarily even where it is not mandated. Such participation will enhance the safety of reporting vessels and that of others operating in the Australian SRR.Domestic commercial vessels fitted with Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) and AIS technology are also encouraged to participate in the system.
