Annual Infrastructure Administration Fee
MAST is responsible for waterways management matters such as the provision of navigation aids, VHF radio services, facilities and ports and pilotage. To ensure that DCVs operating in Tasmanian coastal waters continue to contribute to the costs of providing these services, MAST charges all commercial vessel owners an annual infrastructure administration fee.
This fee is based on the length of the vessel.
On payment of the Annual Infrastructure Administration Fee, MAST will issue a label that must be displayed in a prominent position on the vessel. If the label is not displayed, there is a provision for an infringement notice to be issued.
Vessel Home Port
The owner of a DCV that has not previously operated in Tasmanian coastal waters must notify MAST of the intended home port of the vessel. (See form below).
Change of Ownership
An owner of a DCV must notify MAST of any change of ownership. (See form below).
Retrieval of Information
MAST holds a number of past records that can be accessed by the owner of the vessel or Certificate of Competency holder upon payment of a fee. A Retrieval of Information form will need to be completed.
Should the information need copying from MAST records, a fee is also applicable.
