AIMEX CALLS FOR LEGISLATION CHANGES FOR AUSTRALIAN SUPERYACHT INDUSTRY
AIMEX, the Australian organisation that supports and promotes Australian marine exporters to succeed in global markets has called on the Federal Government to change restrictive legislation holding back Australia’s superyacht industry after an economic impact study revealed its high value to the Australian economy.
The AEC Group study found the Australian superyacht industry contributed a total of A$1.97 billion ($1.5 billion) to gross domestic product (GDP) in the 2016 financial year.
An Australian first, the economic impact study found the superyacht industry to be a high value niche sector, held back by restrictive policy. If relaxed, the industry could contribute an additional estimated A$1.12 billion to GDP by 2021 for a total contribution of A$3.34 billion.
MaryAnne Edwards, AIMEX Chief Executive, said: “We’re calling for the Australian government
to fix our legislation, so foreign superyachts have freedom to charter here, like they do in New Zealand. This would boost our local superyacht industry substantially. We could see an extra 8,100 local jobs making a total of 24,400 jobs by 2021.”
Currently, very few international superyachts come to Australia because the current legislation makes charting in Australian waters unviable. A superyacht must be fully imported and pay 10 percent Goods and Services Tax on its value.

HAMBURG PORT AUTHORITY ADDS A DUAL HEAD MULTIBEAM SURVEY SYSTEM TO ITS RANGE OF HYDROGRAPHIC SURVEY EQUIPMENT
Conducting around 900 surveys per year in the port of Hamburg, Hamburg Port Authority (HPA) requires high-end products for their multi- sensor systems and survey vessels.
The vessel ‘Deepenschriewer IV’ is the smallest survey vessel of HPA and intended to carry out multibeam surveys for depth control and documenting in shallow water areas. For this purpose, MBT, MacArtney Germany, has done supply, installation, and setting- to-work of a dual head multibeam echo sounder system suitable for hydrographic survey applications.
This solution includes the following products: high-resolution multibeam echo sounder Teledyne RESON SeaBat® T20-R, a Valeport SWiFT soundtrace profiler and a Valeport UltraSV.
10 | The Report • June 2017 • Issue 80
Scope of supply: The dual head Teledyne RESON SeaBat® T20-R multibeam echo sounder configuration provides uncompro-mising survey data in a highly compact package designed for small vessel use. It is an all-in-one, fully flexible and fully integrated survey system for fast mobilization, minimal interfacing and low space requirements.
The Valeport SWiFT is a high-performance, low- cost and high-speed. The Valeport UltraSV offers ultra-fast, ultra-compact and ultra-dependable. The scope of the invention relates to a method and apparatus for the determination of the temperature.
Quality testing to meet the most demanding standards and the best way to achieve the best results.
The units are intended for coastal, harbour and inland hydrographic survey use. Featuring superior acoustic quality and high accuracy, this dual head survey system enables easy and quick downloading and sharing of data relevant in relation to hydrographic surveying.
