Maritime New Zealand's MOSS

As the holder of a Maritime Transport Operator Certificate (MTOC) it is your responsibility to ensure that your Maritime Transport Operator Plan (operator plan) is up to date and appropriate for your operation. You must also ensure that all the vessels in your operation are safe. Also, Maritime NZ will engage with you to ensure you continue to operate safely and follow your operator plan.

These are the main things you will need to focus on:

  1. Changes to your operator plan that only require notification

    Certain changes to your operation or your operator plan do not require you to apply, but only notify MNZ about the changes.

  2. Changes to your operator plan that will require MNZ approval

    Certain changes to your operation, MTOC or your operator plan will require you to apply for approval from MNZ first.

  3. Vessels in your operation hold a valid certificate of survey

    Operators must ensure that each vessel that is already part of their operation or comes in later, has a valid certificate of survey.

  4. Engagement with MNZ MOSS audits for ongoing monitoring

    Maritime NZ will engage with you through an audit process to ensure you continue to operate safely and follow your operator plan.

The problem is most operators don’t have the time to research and maintain compliance as it will require a significant amount of time to produce operating manuals, risk assessments, emergency policies etc.

We will start with a consultancy phase where we get to know your operation intimately and due to our powerboat operation experience we will be able to provide all relevant documents and manuals for you. The time requirement from you will be minimal and all that is required is a short initial consultancy after which we will complete the design and implementation process.
