Recognised Surveyors
Under the Maritime Operator Safety System (MOSS), maritime operators can engage a Recognised Surveyor directly. Your vessel can be surveyed by any surveyor, as long as they have been recognised by Maritime NZ to carry out the survey work.
Contact a Recognised Surveyor and check they hold the right recognition for your vessel type.
Compare surveyors’ fees before you engage them, as Maritime NZ does not set surveyor fees.
You can also share the costs of travel time with other operators in your area by having your vessel surveyed at the same time.
