Founded in 1907 Why does it exist ?

To foster safe, competitive, quality and customer oriented New Zealand shipping services. To represent New Zealand shipping to Government, Parliament, cargo interest, sector groups, the general public and appropriate international organisations. To promote and maintain industry standards for safety, training and environmental protection. To provide a clearing house for information relevant to the New Zealand shipping industry. To encourage the development of viable employment opportunities for New Zealanders in shipping. How Does it do it ? 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. The Intentional Labour Organisation (ILO) has specific sessions, every 8-10 years, devoted solely to Maritime matters. The New Zealand employers delegate to these sessions is normally the person nominated by the New Zealand Shipping Federation in conjunction with the Business New Zealand. 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. It acts as a source of information for the media and the general public, and has a significant database of international agreements, conventions, resolutions and codes, as well as New Zealand legislation, regulations, rules and Polices. RESEARCH The Federation undertakes or commissions research identified by its Council as necessary or desirable. This often includes managing contracts with external providers. FORUM Facilities and services are provided to enable member companies to discuss matters of mutual interest, among themselves and with others. The facilities include a Wellington office suite from which to do business. The usual office services such as phone, fax and photocopies are readily available, as well as computer and extensive reference material.

MISSION: To deliver a reliable, efficient and cost-effective network of Aids to Navigation for the benefit and safety of all Mariners. The Northern Lighthouse Board's principal concern is with safety: the safety of the mariner at sea; the safety of our own people employed in or around some of the world's most dangerous coastlines; and the safety of environment in which we, and those who come after us, must live and work. The Northern Lighthouse Board has long been at the forefront of navigational technology. The programme to automate all major lighthouses was successfully completed on 31 March 1998. The Board completed the conversion of all its statutory lit buoyage to solar power in 1997. Thereafter, an ongoing programme of modernisation and overhaul will continue well into the 21st Century. The Board has always prided itself on its efficiency and cost effectiveness. For the future, it aims to provide a reliable, low-maintenance and cost-effective network of Aids to Navigation, backed by a safe, efficient and professional support organisation. The joint General Lighthouse Authorities' policy is based on the continuing requirement for the foreseeable future for a base-level of traditional visual aids to navigation, in the form of lights, beacons and buoyage, but a decreasing reliance of these "traditional" aids to navigation and an increasing reliance on high-precision radio aids. The Joint GLAs' policy also provides a mechanism for the ongoing review of tasking and policies.
