REPRESENTATION The New Zealand Shipping Federation is a Full Member of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the international organisation of national shipowner association. The ICS is widely regarded as the principal voice of the shipping industry and has significant influence with the International Maritime Organisation. The Federation is also a Full Member of the International Shipping Federation (ISF), the international employers organisation for shipowners.

New Zealand shipping interests are represented by the Federation on Government Committees such as the Ballast Water Advisory Group, the Oil Pollution Advisory Committee and the ad hoc committee set up to deal with various issues relating to the importation of pests. The Maritime New Zealand's Consultative Committee includes a member' of the Maritime Industry. Competenz is the industry training organisation for the maritime sector, and the Federation is a member of the maritime advisory group LOBBYING and ADVOCACY The preparation and presentation of submissions putting forward the shipping industry's perspective on a wide range of issues is a key part of the Federation’s work. This is targeted not only at Government, Select Committees and Ministers but also coalition and Opposition parties, Ministries, Government Departments and Agencies, Port Companies, Regional and District Councils, and other organisations. Submissions are made not only in response to proposals, but also proactively seeking changes and improvements, The Federation regularly appears before Select Committees. It also appears, where necessary, at local authority resource management hearings and occasionally in the Environment Court. Litigation is generally seen as a last resort, but one which will be pursued when necessary. LIAISON It is also important to maintain good and effective working relationships with the relevant agencies and organisations. The Ministry of Transport and Maritime New Zealand regularly consult the Federation at the early stages of policy development. Regular contact is maintained with other agencies such as Business New Zealand, Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport, Maritime Law Association, other shipowners associations, Marine Transport Association, Association of Shipping Agents, Shippers Council, port companies, local authorities, other transport organisations, universities and polytechnics. The Federation has a special relationship with the Australian Shipowners Association, particularly in relation to international matters. This relationship is increasingly relevant as issues relating to Trans Tasman trade arise on both sides of the Tasman. INFORMATION The Federation disseminates information to members from international organisations such as IMO, ISF, ICS and ILO. It also provides information from Business new Zealandand other ship owner associations.

NightWatch Industries was begun by Norman Dahl, commencing with the creation of several Omron PLC based tank monitoring systems for large Pacific Northwest yachts in 1992. The firm has now expanded its capabilities to include almost any type of vessel monitoring. The company places heavy emphasis on top quality hardware and a conservative design approach. A self-described “Silicon Valley dropout gone to sea”, Mr. Dahl’s electronic career began in development labs at Sylvania and IBM and culminated with his eventual departure to sail the Pacific. He has crossed the Atlantic under both sail and power and has held a 1600 tom Master’s License for many years. His background has provided an excellent insight into the demands of the yacht world and the technical skills need to meet those demands. He is a member of the Society of Nautical and Marine Engineers and the American Society of Naval Engineers. NIghtWatch is listed as a government vendor under the Federal Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database. Recent projects have included systems on new builds by Palmer Johnson and Intermarine Savannah and a refit on a 125 foot Abeking Rasmussen.

Billingstad, Norway

Orcinius Orca also known as the killer whale is our logo, Why Orca ? - It is known for its intelligence, referring to the intelligent solution we have for corrosion problems. - It is a whale which symbolize green values referring to the environmental friendly solution we represent. - It is agressive, referring to our goal to get a reasonable share in the market. History In the mid 80’s Mr. Tom Berntsen started the marketing of self-adhesive films for mega- sized logos on ship sides. After several years these logos were repaired or replaced and he noticed that the areas covered by the vinyl had hardly any corrosion compared to the rest of the ship. On basis of this discovery he realised that this might be a new way to fight corrosion. Extensive research, development and testing began, resulting in the ultimate solution for corrosion, the 9800 HT Offshore film.
