In relation to the domestic vessel process, see below:

You can notify AMSA of the sale by completing and submitting AMSA 758 form.
Please include details of the purchaser.

The new operator of the vessel will need to complete:

Proof of purchase such as a bill of sale should be attached to application form 1780.
There is no fee associated with form AMSA 1780.

A certificate of operation cannot be transferred.

The new operators will need to apply for a new certificate of operation using form AMSA 504.
The fee associated with form AMSA 504 is $200.
A certificate of operation is valid for 5 years from issue date, it is required to be renewed after expiry.
