After reviewing the report, the AMSA detained the ship on its return to Australia, in Sydney on 8 September 2018, to gather evidence of the reported discharge. The AMSA is currently investigating this incident, and it would be inappropriate to release documentation relating to the reported incident or the AMSA investigation at this time.</p> <p class="speaker">Scott Ryan</p><p>The question is that motion No. 1201 be agreed to.</p>
