Since the 1 February 2021, AMSA inspectors have been conducting a national float-free EPIRB focused inspection campaign to ensure operators meet their obligations.
So far 90 per cent of vessels inspected have a correctly fitted float-free EPIRB registered with AMSA. This is a good result, well done to owners, masters and crew of these vessels!
For vessel owners who have yet to purchase a float-free EPIRB there continues to be stock available around the country. Check with suppliers and order now. All EPIRBs must be registered with AMSA.
