Transport Operations (Marine Safety) Act 1994

If—

a marine incident happens; or

the general manager believes that a marine incident may have happened, even though it has not been reported;

After finishing the investigation, the inspector must report the results of the investigation to the general manager.

If, after considering the report, the general manager is satisfied that a marine incident has happened, the general manager may, in the way prescribed by regulation, cancel, suspend or amend an approval of a Queensland regulated ship or person involved in the incident.

Subsections (2) and (3) do not prevent the general manager from—

requiring the inspector to provide interim reports to the general manager; or

taking action mentioned in subsection (3) before the inspector has finished the inspector’s investigation.
