I cannot give a treaty or anything, but a lot of my work is for shipping, and I can confirm that ships may maintain whatever time the captain wants. For example, on cross-channel ferries between Dover and Calais where the trip takes much less than an hour, they do not adjust ship's time by an hour every time they go between UK (GMT) and French (+1) times.

They'll continue to do what they've always done, which is keep their own times at the discretion of their captains. Do you have any source, international treaty or so, to support your claim?
If they get on land, would that change your claim, or would they observe what has been reported as official time for HM by Australian agencies? -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com/
