Maritime NZ takes the welfare of seafarers extremely seriously. We have spoken with the vessel’s Master, agent and Flag State, who confirm they are comfortable with the crew’s arrangements for this foreign flagged vessel. We understand the crew are adequately provisioned and doing well.
We will continue to monitor the situation closely and will take any action necessary to ensure compliance with all applicable international and domestic maritime regulations.
As with any foreign ship in New Zealand waters, anyone with concerns about crew welfare is encouraged to notify Maritime NZ. Seafarers or others can make notifications via the homepage of our website: www.maritimenz.govt.nz.
