Resumen

Section 7 provides for acts committed by foreign vessels in the Australian Fishing Zone. This section applies, inter alia in relation to: (a) any act that is committed on or from a foreign ship: (i) at a time when the ship is beyond the outer limits of the territorial sea of Australia (but is not within the outer limits of the territorial sea adjacent to an external Territory or the outer limits of the territorial sea of a foreign country) in the course of a voyage to a place in Australia or an external Territory; or (ii) in the case of a ship that is engaged in fishing or in respect of which a licence is in force under the Fisheries Act 1952 or a foreign fishing licence or a port permit is in force under the Fisheries Management Act 1991 - at a time when the ship is in the Australian fishing zone beyond the outer limits of the territorial sea of Australia but is not within the outer limits of the territorial sea adjacent to an external Territory. Section 9 makes provisions for criminal laws applicable in offshore areas in relation to exploration or exploitation of the continental shelf. Subject to provisions of section 9 criminal laws in force in a State or Territory apply in the part of the adjacent area in relation to that State or Territory that is beyond the outer limits of the territorial sea of Australia and is not within the outer limits of the territorial sea adjacent to an external Territory. For the purposes of this section, "the adjacent area", in relation to a State or Territory, has the same meaning as in the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1967. (21 sections)
