Maritime operators navigate one of the most complex regulatory environments in any industry. IMO conventions — MARPOL for pollution prevention, SOLAS for safety of life at sea, and the Ballast Water Management Convention — set international baselines. But flag state implementation varies, and port state control inspections enforce local standards. In Australia, AMSA administers maritime safety with powers to detain non-compliant vessels. Biosecurity obligations apply to every vessel entering Australian waters. Environmental regulations cover emissions, waste discharge, and marine protected areas. And crew welfare obligations under the Maritime Labour Convention, Fair Work Act, and WHS legislation add another layer.
Most operators manage this across separate compliance systems for each convention. AuditDSS unifies them.
That's what AuditDSS does.
1,878+ maritime compliance obligations scored and ready.
Marine pollution prevention — oil, chemicals, sewage, garbage, air emissions.
Safety of life at sea — vessel construction, fire protection, life-saving equipment.
Ballast water management — treatment systems and exchange requirements.
Australian Maritime Safety Authority — vessel survey, certification, port state control.
Biosecurity obligations for vessels entering Australian waters.
Workplace safety — applies to vessel operations and port activities.
Employment obligations for Australian-flagged vessels and port workers.
Supply chain reporting — maritime has high modern slavery risk in crewing.
Environmental protection — marine areas, threatened species, heritage.
Nature-related disclosures — shipping impacts marine ecosystems.
Answer a short questionnaire about your operations — vessel types, flag state, trading routes, port calls. AuditDSS identifies exactly which regulations and obligations apply to you.
See your compliance posture scored across every applicable convention. Understand where you're covered, where gaps exist, and which gaps carry the highest risk.
Get tailored compliance policies, procedures, and documentation generated for your specific operations. Not templates — documents calibrated to your fleet, routes, and risk profile.
Map your existing evidence — VMS records, environmental logs, crew certifications, inspection reports — to specific obligations.
Planned maintenance records, safety management system documentation, and ISM Code audit trails. AuditDSS maps your VMS data to SOLAS safety requirements, AMSA survey obligations, and flag state compliance standards.
Ballast water treatment logs, oil record books, garbage management records, and emissions data. Direct evidence for MARPOL annexes, BWM Convention compliance, and EU ETS maritime obligations.
Crew certifications, training records, rest hour logs, and safety drill documentation. Maps to SOLAS crew requirements, Maritime Labour Convention obligations, Fair Work Act provisions, and WHS duties.
Port state control inspection results, deficiency records, detention history, and corrective action documentation. Evidence for AMSA compliance, flag state requirements, and continuous improvement obligations.
You don't need separate systems for each convention. You need your existing vessel data connected to the regulations that require it. That's what AuditDSS does.
Most compliance platforms tell you what you must do to avoid penalties. AuditDSS also tells you what you gain by complying.
