Transfer operations at sea and in coastal waters
This Notice supersedes Marine Notice 8/2012
which is now cancelled.
The purpose of this Notice is to provide advice
to ship owners and operators on regulations
specific to the transfer of oil cargoes between
oil tankers at sea.
This advice is applicable to domestic
commercial vessels, regulated Australian
vessels and foreign flagged vessels.
Transfer of oil cargo between oil
tankers at sea
International requirements related to ship to
ship (STS) transfer of oil cargo at sea are
contained in Annex I of the International
Convention for the Prevention of Pollution
from Ships (MARPOL). These requirements
apply to STS operations involving oil tankers
of 150 gross tonnage and above.
Masters and Operators need to be aware that
Chapter 8 of Annex I of MARPOL
(Preventions of Pollution During Transfer of
Oil Cargo Between Oil Tankers at Sea)
mandates the following for STS operations:
• The vessel carries a plan prescribing how
STS operations are to be conducted (STS
Operations Plan) and the person in overall
control of the STS operation is
appropriately qualified to perform the
duties (see regulation 41 of Annex I)
• That notification of a scheduled STS
operation is provided to the local
administration (AMSA) not less than 48
hours in advance (see regulation 42 of
Annex I for details).

Marine Notice 15/2017
Supersedes 8/2012
Regulation 41(5) of Annex I also requires that
records of STS operations be retained on
board for three years.
These international requirements are given
effect in Australian law in:
• Sections 11B to 11G of the Protection of
the Sea (Prevention of Pollution from
Ships) Act 1983
• Sections 24 to 29 of Marine Order 91
(Marine pollution prevention - Oil) 2014.
Transfer operations at sea other
than STS transfers between oil
tankers
All necessary precautions to ensure the
safety of persons and protection of the
environment should also be taken for any
ship-to-ship transfer of cargoes, persons, or
other goods undertaken at sea in the vicinity
of the Australian coast (outside port limits).
To enable the appropriate maritime safety
information to be promulgated, it is requested
that early notification be forwarded to AMSA
when such operations (outside port limits) are
planned.
It is requested the notification be provided in
the manner detailed in s.28 of Marine Order
91 (Marine pollution prevention - Oil) 2014
and include:
• the date and location of the proposed
transfer and full details of the vessels
involved
• the purpose of the transfer
Page 1 of 2
• if relevant, technical details of the cargo to
be transferred (including temperatures
and pressures)
• whether other craft (such as tugs) are to
be in attendance and what equipment is
to be provided to assist
• arrangements for oversight of other
vessels in the transfer area.
