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

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.
