Maritime compliance consulting for commercial vessels in New Zealand

Based in Auckland — within easy reach of Auckland, Whangarei, Tauranga, and the broader upper North Island marine corridor. We serve vessels at New Zealand's major marinas, boatyards, and marine precincts, delivering ISM/ISPS/MLC audits, gap analysis, and DPA/CSO services onboard or remotely.

New Zealand coverage

Marine precincts we serve

Our Auckland base covers the most concentrated stretch of New Zealand's commercial marine activity. We serve vessels at all of the following locations — access is arranged through the vessel owner or manager in the usual way.

Auckland

Our closest major hub. Serving vessels at Westhaven Marina, Viaduct Harbour, Bayswater Marina, Half Moon Bay, and throughout the Waitematā Harbour. Auckland is the primary port of call for visiting international commercial vessels and superyachts in New Zealand waters.

Northland & Whangarei

Serving vessels at Norsand Boatyard (Whangarei) — one of New Zealand's most established commercial marine yards — and throughout Whangarei Harbour and the Bay of Islands. A frequent first port of call for vessels arriving from the South Pacific.

Tauranga & Bay of Plenty

Serving vessels at Tauranga Marina, Sulphur Point, and throughout the Bay of Plenty. A growing commercial marine hub with increasing superyacht and commercial vessel traffic.

Coromandel, Waiheke & Hauraki Gulf

Serving vessels operating throughout the Hauraki Gulf — including vessels at anchorage, in transit, or based at marinas across the Gulf. Remote desktop support is particularly practical for vessels in this area when a full onboard visit is not warranted.

Hamilton & Waikato

Available for vessels operating on the Waikato River and inland waterways, and for management companies in the Waikato region seeking DPA or CSO services for their fleets.

Wellington, South Island & beyond

For vessels in Wellington, Nelson, Marlborough, Christchurch, Dunedin, and Southland — we offer full remote desktop audit support and gap analysis nationwide. Onboard attendance available where the scope justifies travel.

What we can help with

Internal audits & gap analysis

ISM/ISPS/MLC internal audits and pre-certification gap analysis. Delivered onboard across the upper North Island with short notice, or remotely for vessels anywhere in New Zealand.

NZ-flagged commercial vessels

ISM/ISPS/MLC internal audits and DPA/CSO services for vessel owners and management companies operating NZ-flagged vessels commercially.

Visiting vessels

Pre-arrival compliance review for foreign-flagged superyachts and commercial vessels arriving from the South Pacific or Pacific circuit. New Zealand is frequently the first major port of call — we help ensure a smooth entry and port state control experience.

DPA & backup DPA

Contracted DPA services and out-of-hours backup cover. NZ time zones align well with vessels operating across the South Pacific and provide overnight cover for European-based management companies.
