14 Relationship with the national law
The national law applies to particular activities of, and matters relating to, domestic commercial vessels.
This Act does not apply to a domestic commercial vessel to the extent the national law applies to the vessel.
Note—
See the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012 (Cwlth), section 6(2) for circumstances in which a law of the State may apply in relation to domestic commercial vessels.
Generally, this Act expressly identifies a provision that does not apply to a domestic commercial vessel by stating the provision applies only to a Queensland regulated ship (which does not include a domestic commercial vessel).
However, the absence of a statement of a kind mentioned in subsection (3) does not limit the operation of subsection (2).
