Who this product is for

This product is intended for operators who have confirmed that their vessel and operation are eligible to use a simplified SMS.

It is particularly suited to owner-operated or small-crew Torres Strait fishing vessels involved in fin fish, reef line, cray diving, hookah and tender operations.

Important eligibility notice

The purchaser is responsible for confirming current simplified-SMS eligibility before using the SMS-in-a-Box component.

A vessel that is not eligible for simplified SMS arrangements requires an appropriate full SMS.

Important product notice

Watchkeeper is an independent commercial template product.

It is not AMSA-approved and does not guarantee:

• legal compliance
• an inspection outcome
• survey acceptance
• issue or renewal of a Certificate of Operation
• acceptance by another regulator or authority

The purchaser must customise and implement the system for the actual vessel, crew, equipment, operation and certificate conditions.
