Hull cleaning and dive services

Adam Dodson Diving Services has partnered with the 2018 Etchells Worlds to offer hull-cleaning services to the Worlds fleet.  Adam has organised team of divers to be available throughout the regattas.  Please email adamthediver@bigpond.com Adam for more information outlining your requirements and please include your contact details.

Boat services – boat repairs, maintenance, packing & unpacking

Andrew Woodforth Marine has partnered with the 2018 Etchells Worlds to offer a range of professional boat services to the fleet.  Andrew is available onsite at RQYS and can help crews with any boat repairs, maintenance and can also provide a boat unpacking and repacking service for those Etchells heading home by shipping container or on a trailer. Contact Andrew Woodforth Marine:  0409 479 204  or email andrew@awmarine.com.au www.awmarine.com.au

We are working with International freight forwarder DSV Air and Sea to provide a seamless process to get your boats exported. Should you wish to avail yourselves of this service can I suggest you compete the quote request form (on website) and send it to DSV within the next week or so requesting a quote from them asap (contact details on the form). 

Upon your acceptance of that quote you then send DSV the Shippers Letter of Instruction (SLI) form (on website) as a formal request for them to manage the shipping on your behalf (we suggest that you also resend your initial quote request form as it may cover additional info).  Relevant documents are:  DSQ Quote Request Form and Shippers Letter of Instruction

Their service will include delivery of the empty container to the yacht club during the final week of sailing, (packing your care), subsequent container collection and ocean freight to your nominated destination port. At that point you will need to engage your local shipping contacts for payment of destination fees, customs clearance, and local delivery or engage the local DSV office to undertake this on your behalf. DSV BNE will also need instructions on where to send the carnet as it will be required for subsequent re-importation into the destination country.

Please feel free to contact Kevin.molen@gmail.com –  or Malla from DSV if you have any questions.

Andrew Woodforth Marine – based in the grounds of RQYS has offered to provide a container packing service for post regatta shipping.

If you plan to bring a coach boat with you to Queensland or look to hire one locally,  we recommend you check the local boating license requirements on the Queensland Government website under ‘Boat and personal watercraft licences’.  For interstate and overseas visitors, there are comparable recognised licenses accepted in Queensland but you will need to check online to ensure your marine license complies. https://www.qld.gov.au/transport/boating/licences/recreational Please note: we are currently looking at arranging a pool of ribs to be available for hire.  For those shipping in their own Etchells, there will be an opportunity for you to purchase a RIB outright here locally and return it with your Etchells after the Worlds in your container.

Please refer to the 2018 Etchells World Championships NOR under ‘Race Documents’ on this website for details insurance coverage level required to compete.  If you have any further enquiries on insurance, please email committee@2018etchellsworlds.org

For any ‘out-of-towners’ planning to compete in the lead-up regattas before the Worlds, and / or the Etchells Australasian Championship in Mooloolaba (7-10 June), we currently have space at RQYS to store your boat over this period in the lead-up to the Worlds and afterwards in preparation for the Australian Nationals in January 2019. 

Etchells Brisbane and RQYS are pleased to be able to offer some ‘free storage periods’ around the key regattas.  Please refer to the table of dates for free storage and weekly storage rates outside the free storage period here.

For further information on storage and fees please contact RQYS Marina Manager Glen Scott directly at marinamanager@rqys.com.au  Please use the subject header ‘Etchells Boat Storage’ in your email. 

Quarantine Update – July 2018  

(please keep scrolling further for standard Quarantine Information)

International shipping – Australian quarantine clearance

Please beware that we have encountered delays and additional costs in obtaining quarantine clearance for arriving boats in the last few months. Most boats have required an inspection which involved delivery to an inspection facility and container unpack before final delivery to the yacht club once final clearance was received. One even required additional cleaning. This has effected both permanent and temporarily imported Etchells. Please allow for approximately 7-10 days from vessel arrival to delivery to the yacht club.

International shipping – Custom clearance/shipping documentation

Please notify the 2018 Worlds Organising Committee of your shipping information – kevin.molen@gmail.com.

Please also make arrangements with RQYS for storage if your Etchells is arriving prior to the regatta period

Glen Scott – marinamanager@RQYS.com.au

If you have made your own shipping arrangements but these do not include Australian customs clearance and delivery we suggest that you contact our preferred freight forwarder DSV Australia and have them act on your behalf. 

DSV Air & Sea Pty Ltd – Brisbane

Tel:                  +61 7 3268 8600 

Email:             malla.tennila@au.dsv.com

If you engage them it is recommended you email them your shipping documentation as early as possible and if using a carnet couriered this to them as well. They can also be shown as the notify party on the bill of lading. 

By following the above there is greater visibility of containers in transit and less likelihood of delays and additional costs due to lack of prior notice of vessel arrivals or missing documentation. 

Quarantine (standard information)

http://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/arrival Australia has very strict quarantine requirements and all competitors containers will be subject to an inspection by the Department of Quarantine. This means that all containers & contents must be free of any quarantine risk material. The below table highlights the risks that Quarantine focus on.

Item	Examples
Live animals – vertebrates	frogs, geckos, birds, rodents, reptiles
Animal material	hair, fur, skin, faeces, shell, blood, and fluids, feathers, honey, flesh, bone, horn
Animal material – evidence	feathers, fur, faeces
Plants – live	plants, weeds, sprouted seeds, propagatable material
Plant material – reproductive	pollen, spores, flowers, fruit, vegetables
Plant material – seeds	seeds, pods
Plant material – fresh	fresh leaves, gum, stems, pods, roots, flowers
Plant material – dry	dried leaves, branches, roots, straw, wood
Plant material – bark	bark
Invertebrates – timber pests	borers, wasps, termites, ants, larvae, eggs, beetles
Invertebrates – flying pests	flies, moths, bees, wasps
Invertebrates – fresh produce pests	beetles, thrips, larvae, mites, flies, caterpillars
Invertebrates – stored product pests	beetles, larvae, eggs, casings
Other invertebrates of concern – terrestrial	flatworms, nematodes, earthworms
Other invertebrates of concern – aquatic	sponges, jellyfish, starfish, barnacles, algae
Invertebrates seeking refuge – hitch-hikers	ants, bees, wasps, moths, spiders, grasshoppers, butterflies
Invertebrates – evidence	wasps nests, mud nests, wings, shells, casing, frass
Snails and slugs	snails, slugs

Plant pathogens	fungi, lichen, bacteria, viruses, moulds, protozoa, phytoplasmas
Soil	dirt, mud, clay, sand
Water	pools of water, water in receptacles, articles used with water
Water – evidence	water marks

Particular risks for Etchells & trailers

• Packing a wet boat or in a wet environment
• Plant material (leaves etc.) within the hull and trailer boxes
• Excess grease on the trailer that could trap seeds etc.
• Spiders, webs and other insects within trailer frames
• Mud within tyre treads
• Water sitting in the hull/trailer
• Existing container residue – ensure container is swept clean prior to loading
• Dirt/soil on trailer and in container – suggest loading container from a sealed/dry surface and sweep after loading
• Non ISPM timber: Timber packing/supports/dunnage – all timber used within the container must be ISMP compliant (ISPM stamp visible on each piece) unless you fumigate the container prior to shipping in which case evidence of fumigation from an approved fumigator is required. http://www.agriculture.gov.au/import/goods/timber-packaging/ispm-15

Each competitor must go over their boat and trailer at the time of packing to eliminate all quarantine risks. Remedial treatment and associated activity in Australia is very expensive and time consuming.

Introduction

We have partnered with the international freight forwarder DSV Air and Sea along with the container shipping line ANL (CMA CGM in Europe and APL in North America) to offer a door to door shipping service to the Royal Queensland Yacht Squadron in Brisbane for 40’ HC containers from a number of ports around the world.

ANL is providing an increased ‘free container utilisation period’ upon arrival in Brisbane of 21 days (standard is 7 days) for those competitors looking have their boats arrive shortly before the regatta and re-exported immediately after the conclusion of the regatta. This means is that between arrival and export you can potentially hold onto the container for up to 39 days and use the same one for re-export. The container can be held at the RQYS and be able to be used for storage etc during the event.

For further clarification or information please contact Kevin Molen at  logistics@2018etchellsworlds.org

Customs

As imports into Australia will attract 10% goods and services tax and potentially customs duty it is suggested that all Etchells move using an ATA Carnet. These are generally available from your local Chamber of Commerce. This will also facilitate the entry of your boat back into your country of origin. Those requiring a temporary entry but not using a carnet will be required to deposit an amount equivalent to the applicable taxes to the Australian Government upon arrival and make a subsequent refund claim once the boat has been exported (this can be time consuming and expensive). Anyone intending to permanently leave their boat in Australia will be to have a formal import clearance undertaken and make payment of any applicable taxes at the time of importation.

The Brisbane Etchells fleet qualifications will conclude in April.  After commitments from the local fleet to enter the Worlds, we will know how many and which boats may be available for the loaner boat pool for overseas entrants. If you are interested in being included in the loaner boat draw and have not already been in contact with us, please email chairman@2018etchellsworlds.org expressing your interest. Please also refer to the 2018 World Championship NOR under Race Documents for further details on loaner boats. With regard to private charters, the organisers will not be actively involved in any formal arrangements but are happy to assist in putting relevant parties in contact.
