Marine Order 1 (Administration) 2013 deals with the following matters about equivalents:
         * making an application
         * seeking further information about an application
         * the time allowed for consideration of an application
         * imposing conditions on approval of an application
         * notification of a decision on an application
         * review of decisions.
       (2) AMSA may approve use of an equivalent if satisfied that:
(a) the vessel has adequate arrangements to protect the working and living conditions of its seafarers; and
(b) for a vessel to which the Maritime Labour Convention applies — approving the use of the equivalent would not contravene paragraph 4 of Article VI of the Maritime Labour Convention.
Note for paragraph (a)   An example of the circumstance when AMSA may consider approval of use of an equivalent is when a vessel is undertaking an overnight or delivery voyage.
Note for paragraph (b)   Paragraph 4 of Article VI of the Maritime Labour Convention provides that an arrangement is equivalent if conducive to the full achievement of the general object and purpose of the MLC standard concerned.
