As a port authority, Flinders Ports will acknowledge a request to carry out certain activities eg. Hot Work on a ship via a “Notice”. Such Notices can be requested by the “ship’s master” through their agent asking for certain activities to be carried out on board the ship. These Notices are activity specific and act as a formal mechanism in identifying important provisions to be followed (& agreed to) in the interests of minimising safety risks to the vessel, its crew, other personnel and infrastructure.

Vessel agents are to complete the relevant Notice and fax it to Flinders Ports for acknowledgement.

Faxes are to be sent to:

During Office Hours
The Duty Scheduler – Marine Operations
Fax: 8447 0603

Out of Normal Working Hours
The Communications Officer – Communications Tower
Fax: 8248 1623

The recipient of the fax will assess if it is ok to proceed with the request - if it is OK, they will sign the Notice and fax back to the Agent.

No work is to commence until the signed copy is received by the Agent.
