The MSIC is not an Access Card.  Access remains under the control of the Port Operator or Offshore facility.

An MSIC is valid for five years and includes a background check by the Australian Federal Police and ASIO (AusCheck).

Fremantle Ports is an approved Issuing Body under the Maritime Transport and Offshore Facilities Security Regulations 2003 for the purpose of receiving, processing and printing the MSIC. Fremantle Ports offers the convenience of a single card, which includes both the MSIC and access to Fremantle Ports Maritime Security Zones.

If you already are in possession of a valid MSIC and need access to Fremantle Ports Maritime Security Zones, a separate access card will be issued on application for access.

Please bring the completed application form to your appointment at the MSIC Service Centre.

Upon application, a unique identification number will be provided which identifies you as a Fremantle Ports applicant. The MSIC and/or Access card can be arranged through the MSIC Service Centre at 1 Cliff Street, Fremantle or by contacting the MSIC Service Centre on 08 9430 3322.
