REPRESENTATION The New Zealand Shipping Federation is a Full Member of the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), the international organisation of national shipowner association.

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.
