Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) published Marine Notice 11/2012 “Guidance on ECDIS for ships calling at Australian ports” instead of Marine Notice 15/2010 and 7/2012.

In “5.2 Familiarisation training”, it was requested “The requirement for familiarisation is further recognised under the provisions of section 6.3 and 6.5 of the ISM Code”.

In “7 Port State Control inspection”, it was included the following requirements:

・documented procedures for using ECDIS
・listing of ECDIS as critical equipment in the ship’s Safety Management System
・evidence of periodic tests and checks of the ECDIS equipment that need to be carried out in accordance with the ship’s Safety Management System.
