The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has extended the deadline for vessels to comply with National Standard for Commercial Vessels (NSCV) Part 2 standard for weathertight and watertight integrity.
From 1 September 2025, the NSCV C2 will become mandatory for all new domestic commercial vessels that have a requirement to comply with Marine Order 503.
This standard aims to enhance safety by setting out clear standards for maintaining weathertight and watertight integrity. The date has been extended to provide industry additional time to transition to the standard.
