Since 2006, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) has operated a large emergency towing vessel, mainly in the Torres Strait and Great Barrier Reef areas. The white racing stripes as shown above are applied to the ship's red-painted hull. The first ship, Ocean Knight was replaced in mid-2024 by a temporary ship, Reef Keeper. This ship is intended to be replaced in 2026 by a newly built ship.
