Resources for Shipping Agents, Contractors and Suppliers

Depending on the activities to be undertaken while moored on Port Otago bearths, ships are required to complete permits:

Marine Permits

These notification permits are required to meet Otago Harbour marine by-laws. Marine Permits are approved by Harbour Radio or the Duty Pilot. Marine Permits are needed for:

  • hull painting
  • life boat deployment
  • engine immobilisation
  • diving
  • bunkering

 

Health and Safety Permits

Health and Safety Permits are required to ensure minimum safety measures are applied to high-risk activities. Ships are also required to supply an approved procedure for the task or an approved Job Safety Analysis (JSA). The Operations or Cruise team review the forms and procedures, before any work begins.

Health and Safety Permits are needed for:

  • working at height
