Maritime New Zealand receives some information via its general enquiries contact point and also via its maritime officers’ engagement with the community. However, there would be some added benefit if there were a similar process to that operated by the Civil Aviation Authority for people to report safety and security concerns.
On 23 May 2018 the Commission recommended that the Director of Maritime New Zealand develop, implement and advertise a process where members of the public and the maritime community can submit reports on maritime-safety-related concerns.
