This time, 21 ship management companies whose vessels calling in Australia received the award, including the three above-mentioned MOL Group ship management companies. The awards recognize the companies’ efforts to appropriately maintain and manage vessels, ensure that crewmembers master equipment and facilities, and appropriately meet requirements for certificates of operations.

The Australian Maritime Safety Administration (AMSA) is an Australian statutory authority, responsible mainly for safety at sea, protection of the marine environment, and search and rescue activities at sea and in the air. AMSA visits foreign-registry vessels calling in Australia, ensuring vessel safety by ordering mandatory corrective measures if the vessels do not meet the standards established by international treaties.
