Proposed Area of Operation in Australian Waters Consider AQIS’ On-arrival Biofouling Risk Pre-arrival biofouling risk assessment Assessment Criteria 1). Does the vessel possess a new or current anti-fouling coating? 1 Offshore Waters Inshore Waters 2). Has the vessel’s hull been inspected and cleaned (out of the water or in- (Only) (Anytime) water), including all niche areas immediately prior to arrival to Australia? (Greater than 12 nm (Less than 12 nm from from land and greater land) 3). Has the vessel remained in overseas inshore Inshore waters for more than 31 than 50 m depth of consecutive days after being inspected and cleaned? water) 4). Is there authentic documentation available to support the above? Pre-arrival Biofouling Mitigation Options Option 1: Remove vessel from the water with an AQIS approved service provider present • Clean the entire submerged area of the vessel, including all niche areas • If necessary, renew antifouling coating • Collect and retain authentic supporting documentation • Depart for Australia as soon as possible, but no greater than 31 days after being released back into the water • Travel directly to Australia Option 2: In-water inspection with an AQIS approved service provider present • Inspect and clean (if necessary) the entire submerged area of the vessel, including all niche areas • Collect and retain authentic supporting documentation • Depart for Australia as soon as possible, but no greater than 31 days after being inspected and cleaned • Travel directly to Australia Option 3: Remove vessel from the water without an AQIS approved service provider present • Clean the entire submerged area of the vessel, including all niche areas • If necessary, renew antifouling coating • Collect and retain authentic supporting documentation • Depart for Australia as soon as possible, but no greater than 31 days after being released back into the water • Travel directly to Australia Option 4: In-water inspection without an AQIS approved service provider present • Inspect and clean (if necessary) the entire submerged area of the vessel, including all niche areas • Collect and retain authentic supporting documentation • Depart for Australia as soon as possible, but no greater than 31 days after being inspected and cleaned • Travel directly to Australia Option 5: No pre-arrival biofouling mitigation undertaken AQIS On-arrival Biofouling Risk Assessment Unlikely Likelihood of an in-water inspection Possible Likely
