Resumen

This Act concerns the control of the application or use of harmful anti-fouling compounds (“HAFC”) on ships used for commercial purposes and implements provisions of the International Convention on the Control of Harmful Anti-fouling Systems on Ships. A ship complies with the anti-fouling requirements if: (a) it has no HAFC applied on any designated external surface; or (b) each HAFC that is applied on any designated external surface has a coating that forms a barrier to the HAFC leaching into the water. The Australian Maritime Safety Authority may approve bodies corporate as survey authorities for purposes of this Act. If a ship complies with anti-fouling requirements the survey authority shall issue a certificate to that effect.
