Australian Maritime Safety Authority

What then will happen then is they will try and contact you.

If they don't, they will then con- or don't get onto you, they will then contact Australian Maritime Safety Authority, AMSA in Canberra.

They will then coordinate a search with state police and emergency services.

So you still get the same level of response as a personal locator beacon, it's just monitored in a different place.

ACR bought OceanSignal a few years ago, and that's put a bit more money and effort into research and development.

The PLB1, which, uh, is only a hundred and sixteen grams, it's not much bigger than a matchbox, and that reports straight to the emergency services, um, on four oh six megahertz, which is the same as a, an EPIRB that you see on boats and things like that.

So straight to, um, the satellites, straight to Australian Maritime Safety Authority in Canberra.

And while it's called Australian Maritime Safety Authority in Canberra, they do all our distress beacons land and sea.

The research site will be decommissioned in 2028.

A serious helicopter crash near Mataranka in the Northern Territory has prom-- prompted the Australian Maritime Safety Authority to direct Territorians to pack a registered distress beacon when traveling in remote locations.

Recently, a Robinson R44 helicopter crashed about sixty-seven kilometers northeast of Mataranka, injuring two of the four people on board.

The safety authority was able to respond quickly and made sure everyone got out of there safely because the chopper was fitted with an emergency locator transmitter.

The search area spans approximately 600,000 square kilometers.

The Australian Maritime Safety Authority, supported by the Australian Defense Force, coordinates a surface search by aircraft and vessels in the Indian Ocean.

At 10 p.m. local time, Prime Minister Najib Razak announces at a press conference that flight MH370 is presumed to have gone down in the southern Indian Ocean with no survivors.

Based on new satellite communication, we can say with a high degree of certainty that the aircraft communications addressing and reporting system for aircraft was disabled just before the aircraft reached the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.

The Port Authority worked on machinery availability, on how tugs are used, and on how emergencies are organized.

Australia's Maritime Safety Authority changed its process so that serious incidents reach the investigators quickly.

On Forward podcast, we spend a lot of time on what goes wrong, a gap in a contract, a missed check, one moment when nobody was watching.

This story is the reverse.

And that's where the lighthouse service played such an important role.

Now, in 1990, that changed from the Commonwealth Lighthouse Service to AMSA, Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

And we're trying to engage with AMSA at the moment to get a letter of support from them, because it used to be their ship, basically sort of saying, hey, we're supportive of you guys preserving the ship, which is going to help us.

It gives more weight to the argument when we're going for funding to say, hey, we really want you guys to support us because Not only is it a museum ship, but she's a living, working museum.

Australia.

Australian Antarctic Division and the Joint Rescue Coordination Center in Canberra run by AMSA, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority.

Their jurisdiction spans roughly 52.8 million square kilometers of the Indian Pacific and Southern Oceans.

That's about 11% of Earth's surface, including Australia's Antarctic and sub-Antarctic territories.
