The online TasRep Transit Form which follows this page enables you to advise Tas Maritime Radio of any extended voyages you may take which would warrant us maintaining details of your trip in Tas Maritime Radio's database in case the unforseen happens and you require assistance (the "service").
You should advise us if your trip includes:
•
ocean voyages such as across the Tasman Sea or Bass Strait;
•
extended coastal voyages;
•
or if you would like us to track your trip.
You can submit the Transit Form online with your information being automatically entered into Tas Maritime Radio's TasRep database. If you are unable to submit the form yourself, ask a friend or family member to do it for you. While Tas Maritime will accept your booking by phone or radio, it is much easier for you to do it yourself here: This also helps keep our radio and phones as free as possible in case a distress situation arises.

It is your responsibility to contact Tas Maritime Radio if you are in a situation of distress. | |
