Safety Issue
The vessel was unable to transmit an AUSREP deviation report
after the change of course to Jervis Bay during the afternoon of 4
June due to the fact that the generator was not operational and so
the computer used to compile messages for the satellite
communication system was not functioning.
Safety Advisory Notice
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that the ship
owners, managers and masters should consider the implications of
this safety issue and take action as appropriate.
