Working paper after a port State control detention
A table for a port State control detention. The only AMSA page opened says a ship may be inspected and, if deficiencies are found, may be detained until the issue is resolved. The response is not written here.

When to use it
Use when AMSA has detained a ship in an Australian port and the master needs a place to set out the deficiencies in the surveyor's words. Do not send this paper to AMSA. The deficiency-code page and the detention-release pages were not opened.
Used for these tasks
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
AI may copy each deficiency in the words of the notice the principal supplies. The principal writes every sentence that will be sent.
AI may
- Copy the deficiency wording from the notice into the table, without adding to it
- Insert the vessel name and the port from the notice
AI must not
- Must not draft the response that is sent to AMSA
- Must not invent a deficiency code or explain one
- Must not say that the ship will be released
The lawyer checks
- Each deficiency in the table is the wording on the notice, not a paraphrase
- No code is translated, because the deficiency-code page was not opened
- The message to AMSA is written by the master or the principal and is not this paper
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
