This template has been developed as a guide to assist industry in inspecting vessels to verify cleanliness prior to loading cargo destined for Australia. Below is a suggested format that can be used. The type of information and level of detail will depend on the complexity of construction and nature of the vessel.

Detail
All cargo and vessels arriving into Australia must be free from Biosecurity Risk Material (BRM) including soil, plants and plant material, animals and animal material, egg masses and insects. Therefore all areas of the vessel should be inspected prior to loading to minimise the risk of cross contaminating BRM free cargo on loading.
