Introduction
The Maritime Dealer Vessel Registration Scheme (MDVRS) enables authorised maritime dealers to register newly manufactured vessels through an online maritime dealer portal. The MDVRS replaces the old Accredited Marine Dealer scheme.
If you're a maritime dealer on the old scheme you need to register with the MDVRS by 31 July 2019. If you don't register by the due date, your licence will no longer be active.
For more information on the MDVRS, visit Transport for NSW.
