 Output No:  MS20080027
 Date Issued: 25/09/08
 Background:

Why this safety advisory notice was developed

 Output Text:

Rexandra's electronic detectability was reduced because of the vessel's timber construction and the lack of a radar reflector or an AIS unit.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau advises that ship and fishing vessel owners, operators' masters/skippers and State/Northern Territory marine regulators should consider the safety implications of this safety issue and to take action where it is considered appropriate.
