Australia’s heightened vessel surveillance for Asian gypsy moth (AGM) commenced at the turn of the year and in New Zealand, new AGM requirements enters into force on 1 February 2018.
The Asian Gypsy Moth (AGM) is a destructive forest pest known to spread via ocean-going vessels in international trade. Vessels calling at certain ports in Asia Pacific between May and September should therefore be inspected and “certified free of AGM” prior to departure. These inspections are undertaken to minimise the potential for regulatory action when arriving in a country where the pest is not native.

2018年亚洲型舞毒蛾婚飞季
在新旧年交替之际，澳大利亚开始对船舶加强亚洲型舞毒蛾(AGM)的监测，而在新西兰，有关AGM的新规定将于2018年2月1日生效。
亚洲型舞毒蛾(AGM)是一种具有破坏性的森林害虫，通过参与国际贸易的远洋船舶进行传播。因此，于五月至九月期间，停靠亚太地区某些港口的船舶，必须在离港前接受检查，并取得“无AGM证明”。该等检查的目的是为了尽量减少船舶抵达本土无该虫害的国家时，被采取管制措施的可能性。
