Maritime New Zealand Vision:  Preventing Harm. Saving Lives. Securing our Future.

Maritime New Zealand (MNZ) exercises Kaitiakitanga over the maritime domain, supporting Aotearoa oceans and waterways to be safe, secure, clean, and sustainable. Through the organisational strategy Te Korowai o Kaitiakitanga (The Cloak of Stewardship), MNZ is on a multi-year journey to bring together aroha, work, and skills to ensure the organisation can operate more effectively as stewards of the maritime domain.

Close to 400 MNZ staff work to make life at sea and in ports safer, to protect the maritime environment from pollution and safeguard it for future generations, and to provide a search and rescue service across a vast marine area.
