  • Interim Report: Increasing Use of So-Called Flag of Convenience
    Chapter 3 National and fuel security, the environment and working conditions on flag of convenience vessels 3.1 The committee received evidence that raised a number of other concerns that this chapter will discuss in turn. Most seriously, some witnesses and submitters argued that the increased use of FOC shipping in Australian waters could create risks for Australia's national and fuel security, as well as to the health of the environment. 3.2 Additionally, evidence was also received about poor employment conditions aboard FOC ships, compounded by deficiencies in on-shore services for foreign workers working on FOC vessels in Australian waters. This matter is significant not only from a concern for the welfare of foreign workers, but also because of the potential for corruption and coercion, as well as how it affects safety aboard FOCs. These factors could have repercussions for the integrity of Australia's national security system, as well as its environmental health. 3.3 This chapter also briefly considers the case study of the MV Sage Sagittarius, which highlights some of the concerns the committee has with the way FOC vessels are overseen by the Commonwealth while they are active in Australian waters. 3.4 Lastly, this chapter also considers what mechanisms the Commonwealth has in place to oversee FOCs in Australian waters, having regard to national security, environmental and safety standards. National security 3.5 The committee received evidence that argued the current arrangements for overseeing FOC shipping could create significant risks for our national security. Most significantly, the Department of Immigration and Border Control submitted that increased use of FOC vessels creates vulnerabilities in several ways, including masking the ownership of vessels operating in Australian waters: Reduced transparency or secrecy surrounding complex financial and ownership arrangements are factors that can make FOC ships more attractive for use in illegal activity, including by organised crime or terrorist groups.
