Harbour risk assessment
In conjunction with Marico Marine and Centreport, Greater Wellington has completed a risk assessment for Wellington harbour.
This is as a result of Maritime New Zealand recommending that NZ ports adopt similiar standards to those developed in the UK, known as the Port and Harbour Safety Code. The code is intended to assist port operators (Centreport) and regulators (Greater Wellington) identify real and potential risks to all users of the harbour and to manage these risks.
This was a lengthy process and the risk assessment was a significant first step. Following on from the risk assessment there is now a draft Wellington port and harbour safety management system (PHSMS) developed by both Greater Wellington and Centreport.
The risk assessment can be downloaded, please be aware that it is 188 pages, or about 6.7MB (it contains colour and graphics). If you would like to see the report but can not download it please contact us, either by email or telephone 04 830 4160.
