45 CLEARANCE PROCEDURES FOR YACHTS AND PLEASURE CRAFT The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) is responsible for ensuring unwanted pests, diseases and other organisms are prevented from entering New Zealand. Once inside New Zealand waters (12 nautical miles from the coast) please ensure all rubbish is contained in closed leakproof containers or sealed in strong plastic bags. A biosecurity inspector will direct the disposal of all your rubbish on arrival. You must arrive at one of New Zealand s approved places of first arrival, where a biosecurity inspector will inspect and clear your vessel and passengers for entry into New Zealand. The main entry ports are:» Opua, Northland» Marsden Point (the Marsden Cove Marina), Northland;» Bridge Marina, Tauranga. You can also arrive at the following ports, however first call the local port radio to be directed to approved berth.» Wellington» Picton (Port Marlborough)» Nelson Port» Lyttelton» Timaru (Prime Port)» Bluff (South Port). DOCUMENTATION REQUIRED AT FIRST PLACE OF ARRIVAL Border Passenger Arrival Card Every person entering New Zealand must complete a personal declaration. Any quarantine risk item must be declared. Master s Declaration The vessel Master must complete a declaration of all risk items aboard that are either restricted or prohibited (see highlighted box opposite). If you surrender all prohibited goods (or have them treated if an option) you will receive a full biosecurity clearance to cruise New Zealand waters. If this option is not taken, the vessel will remain at the designated berth under biosecurity control. UNDER THE BIOSECURITY ACT 1993, SMUGGLING ATTRACTS HEAVY PENALTIES Risk items that are either restricted or prohibited entry may include:» FOODSTUFFS including meat, fruit, vegetables, eggs, dairy products, honey and stored products. Note: It is very important that any uneaten fruit is sealed in closed containers or plastic bags ready for disposal on arrival. New Zealand has had four incursions of the Queensland fruit fly in the past three years and fruit is the main means of entry for this significant horticultural pest.» RUBBISH particularly food waste.» PLANTS no plants or parts of plants may be landed in New Zealand.» CITES (endangered species items), e.g. clam and conch shells, coral, turtle shells and ivory.» LIVE ANIMALS in general no animals will be permitted to come ashore in New Zealand or to remain aboard a vessel in New Zealand territorial waters. Some exemptions may be granted for keeping an animal on board where prior application has been made to MPI and the person in charge has agreed to comply with conditions set.

49 NOTICE TO OPERATORS AND MASTERS OF CRUISE VESSELS AND YACHTS You have a role in protecting New Zealand s unique marine environment don t spread damaging marine pests in biofouling. All vessel owners are encouraged to maintain hulls to minimise biofouling, particularly when entering areas of high marine values such as Fiordland and the Sub-Antarctic and Kermadec Islands. All vessel operators planning to visit the Fiordland marine area should keep Fiordland as beautiful below water as it is above. Fiordland s marine environment is an international treasure with unique but fragile marine ecosystems. It is vital this area is protected from the threat posed by introduced marine life. When marine species establish outside of their native locations, some can cause irreversible damage in the new area. A concerted effort by government agencies and stakeholders is underway to clear the marine pest seaweed Undaria from a remote area of Fiordland. For this reason alone, it is vital you ensure your vessels hull and niche areas are clean and free of marine pests prior to entering these pristine waters. Please take some simple precautions to ensure your vessel hulls and equipment are free of biofouling organisms, including: 1. Keeping your vessel s hull and marine equipment clean and free of fouling. 2. Making sure you have a good, thorough and functioning antifoul coating. 3. Cleaning and air-drying any marine equipment and boats to be used in Fiordland waters e.g. ropes, pots, fishing gear, kayaks and tenders. For further information on the Fiordland programme and marine biosecurity, visit: OVERSEAS VESSELS SHOULD AVOID BRINGING HARMFUL EXOTIC MARINE SPECIES INTO NEW ZEALAND The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) requests that all vessels arriving in New Zealand have a hull that has minimal biofouling on the open hull surface and in niche areas. MPI advises that it is now monitoring the hull management of visiting vessels through questions asked on the Advance Notice of Arrival documentation. Mandatory requirements for minimal levels of biofouling on arrival (in the form of a Border Standard for Biofouling) will be enforced in four years time following a lead-in period when compliance with this new rule is encouraged but voluntary. The new requirements will be released soon and will be available here: enter/ships. A vessel s biofouling management system may be taken into account in granting approval to ply the coast and in particular to visit places that have high ecological value. These places are often visited by cruise vessels and yachts or recreational vessels when they visit New Zealand. November 2012

50 HAVE YOU READ THE FIORDLAND USER GUIDE? VISITING THE SUB-ANTARCTIC OR KERMADEC ISLANDS? OVERSEAS OR DOMESTIC VESSELS You should be aware that the Department of Conservation is enforcing a new regional coastal plan for these areas. The plan s rules require vessels to undergo hull inspections in preparation for entry closer than 1000 metres to the islands. For full information on what is required prior to your visit please refer to PLAN AHEAD Please help protect New Zealand s unique marine areas from damaging marine pests. Consider how you will take extra steps to manage biofouling before commencing a voyage to New Zealand or sailing into high value areas. The fully waterproof guide is a one-stop shop publication containing all of the main marine regulations plus practical and interesting information about the history, the environment and the establishment of the Fiordland Marine Area to help you get the most out of your visit. Refer to to download or order a copy.

51 DON T BRING HITCHHIKERS TO NEW ZEALAND ON YOUR VESSEL The threat: Exotic pests, such as red imported fire ants and mosquitoes, could affect human health and seriously harm New Zealand s economy and unique environment. Many insect pests can fly, meaning that they do not have to be physically transferred from a vessel to the land to establish a population. You could unknowingly be carrying a variety of pests on board. WHAT ARE HITCHHIKERS? Hitchhikers are insects and animals that arrive on your vessel sometimes in small numbers undetected and sometimes in swarms. Some such as moths can lay their egg masses on the vessel. Some termites and borer beetle can live in the wooden parts of the vessel structure. Some may build nests (ants) or inhabit standing water (mosquito larvae). Some common hitchhiking pests found on ships and yachts at New Zealand ports are ants, termites, beetles, mosquitoes, wasps and bees. Exotic termites have been found on recreational vessels arriving into New Zealand. These are usually found in wooden structures and fittings when vessels are undergoing refit. Arriving vessels have also been found carrying exotic ants. They pose a risk to public health, agriculture and horticulture and can become significant urban pests. Drywood termites There are numerous interceptions of exotic mosquitoes at ports each year including the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) which can spread a number of diseases such as Dengue fever and Ross River Virus. YOU CAN HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF HITCHHIKING PESTS TO NEW ZEALAND 1. Prior to leaving your last port check your vessel for pests (insects and other animals). Pay attention to decks, holds, and galleys or other areas where food is found, as well as warm areas such as near engine rooms. Also check wooden structures and packing for insect damage by wood-borers or termites. 2. Kill or remove all pests found on board. Use a knock-down insecticide containing permethrin to kill insects and use baited traps for vermin. Also traps could be used for crawling insects such as ants. 3. Undertake a regular pest management programme and keep a look out for pests during your voyages. 4. Mosquitoes may breed in water on board such as in saucers under pot plants and in tyre fenders. Remove standing water by drilling drain holes in objects such as tyre fenders. (Add chlorine bleach to water which you suspect may contain larvae). 5. If you have a pest infestation or something you cannot deal with before arrival, declare this in your Advance Notice of Arrival form and report it to a biosecurity inspector on arrival in New Zealand. They will assist you with removal of the pests or treatment of your vessel. Asian tiger mosquito Asian gypsy moth and egg mass April 2015

52 don t bring marine pest hitchhikers to new zealand on your boat More than 200 introduced marine species are already established in New Zealand waters and it s estimated over 85 percent of them arrived as biofouling the growth on the bottom of vessels. Once established here, introduced species can have severe economic and environmental impacts. You can help protect New Zealand s waters from further introductions. Clean your hull Before you leave your last port for New Zealand, check your hull, keel, rudder area and hull fittings for any fouling growth. If necessary, haul out and clean it. If this is not possible, give your vessel an in-water clean, paying attention to through-hull fittings, areas not protected by antifouling, and other submerged areas that either protrude or recess as these can harbour pest species. Antifouling (Bottom paint) Ideally coatings should be in good functioning condition and applied within one to two years of arrival in New Zealand. In future, thorough antifouling will need to be addressed prior to leaving home ports for any voyages that include New Zealand. Keep records It is good practice to keep good records of your vessels cleaning and antifouling history, such as: antifouling paint details; the date, location and facility/person that carried out the last dry docking/haul-out and antifouling; receipts from marinas, haul-out facilities and paint suppliers; dates and locations for when you inspected the hull and whether it was cleaned as a result. Inspectors may request this information on your arrival in New Zealand to assess whether your boat presents any biosecurity risk from fouling. If you intend to clean your hull on arrival If you were unable to clean your vessel before leaving your last port and intend cleaning it in New Zealand, it is important that you use facilities where waste water and debris are contained and treated before discharge. Advise the inspector who clears you for entry that you may require prompt haul-out and they will be able to guide you to the nearest MPI-recommended facility. Do not beach or careen in New Zealand waters You should not clean your hull by beaching or careening your boat in New Zealand. In-water cleaning could be used for removing a light slime layer, and is useful for ongoing maintenance of a clean hull. But once again, if you have fouling above slime, you should only clean your vessel in facilities with waste containment so that potential pest species are not entering New Zealand waters. The Ministry for Primary Industries has full information on the entry requirements for yachts and other cruising vessels at ships/yachts Important information from New Zealand s Ministry for Primary Industries New Zealand is introducing new border requirements under the Biosecurity Act to minimise the risk of marine pests entering as biofouling on vessel hulls. The new rules, which are expected to be introduced in April 2014, will require all arriving vessels to have minimal fouling growth on their hull and be able to demonstrate evidence of cleaning at the last port-of-call, or of a good maintenance regime that will prevent biofouling growth. Compliance with the new requirement will be voluntary for the first four years (until 2018). This will enable boat owners/masters to put in place the most effective measures to meet the requirements. Arriving masters should be aware that despite the voluntary period, MPI will continue to take action on vessels arriving with very severe biofouling. For example yachts may be directed by a border inspector to go to a haul out and hull cleaning facility for defouling at their expense. Full information on this, including when the Standard comes into force, will be at Your biosecurity inspector will have information for you on arrival. March 2014

53 Before 2018 we will check your voluntary compliance Before 2018 you can help by spreading the word and not spreading marine pests KEEP RECORDS It is good practice to keep good records of your vessel s cleaning and antifouling history, such as: antifouling paint details; the date, location and facility/person that carried out the last dry docking/haul-out and antifouling; receipts from marinas, haul-out facilities and paint suppliers; dates and locations for when the hull was inspected and whether it was cleaned as a result. Inspectors may request this information on your arrival in New Zealand to assess whether your vessel presents a high biosecurity risk. Before the requirements come into force, inspectors will take action on vessels with severe risk biofouling. You can help protect New Zealand s waters from further marine pest introductions by doing the following: A short time before sailing to New Zealand, check your hull, keel, rudder area and hull fittings for any fouling growth. If necessary, haul out and clean the hull. If this is not possible, give your vessel a clean while in-water. Pay attention to fittings and areas not protected by antifouling, and to other submerged areas that either protrude or form a recess into the hull as these can harbour pest species. After arrival, to avoid spreading pests further around New Zealand make sure you: Do not beach or careen in New Zealand for cleaning the hull. In-water cleaning could be used for removing a light slime layer, and is useful for ongoing maintenance of a clean hull. If you have fouling other than slime, you should only clean your vessel in a facility with waste containment so that any discharged fouling matter does not enter the surrounding waters. September 2014 New Zealand s new border rules on hull fouling From 2018, new requirements will prevent the arrival of marine pests like the one below Eudistoma elongatum a recent unwelcome arrival from Australia

54 From May 2018 New Zealand is protecting its cruising water from marine pests with formal border requirements ABOUT THE NEW REQUIREMENTS Why we re taking action: More than 200 introduced marine species are already established in New Zealand waters and it s estimated over 85 percent of them arrived as biofouling the growth on the bottom of vessels. Once established here, introduced species can have severe economic and environmental impacts. Northern Pacific sea-stars an example of a pest that will be prevented from arriving When enforced from 2018, the legal requirements will affect all arriving vessels WHAT WILL BE REQUIRED AFTER MAY 2018? In future: To minimise biofouling, either your vessel s antifouling will need to remain effective for the entire voyage until arrival to New Zealand or the hull will need to have biofouling removed prior to leaving the last destination before New Zealand. An exception is if the vessel has a booking to go directly into an approved cleaning facility within 24 hours of arrival. To remain effective the antifouling type and application need to suit the particular vessel, e.g. to suit the hull materials, the intended voyage, such as a mixture of ocean crossings and long inactive periods, and to last the entire period which may exceed a year (the normal service life of a yacht s antifouling). Also the antifouling coatings would need to be regularly maintained by wiping off the slime layer, which can be carried out in-water by a diver. The formal requirement: The new requirement is the Craft Risk Management Standard for Biofouling on Vessels Arriving to New Zealand. From May 2018, all arriving vessels must have a clean hull. There is an allowance for slime. Also goose barnacles are not considered a risk to New Zealand. Vessels can manage their biofouling by: continuous maintenance; cleaning before arrival; or by using an approved treatment. The vessel operator will be required to give information on arrival as specified in a biofouling declaration. Whichever option is used it will be necessary to clean niche areas such as skin fittings, around rudders and engines and inside recesses before the final leg of the voyage to New Zealand. Cleaning before arrival must be carried out 30 days or less before arrival to ensure there is no fouling re-growth. Full information about the new requirements is at: WHAT WILL HAPPEN ON ARRIVAL? Inspectors will use information supplied by the skipper and other information to determine whether a vessel is likely to be fouled. Those vessels likely to be fouled will be inspected, along with a random sample, using underwater cameras. If a vessel is found to be fouled, it will be directed to be hauled out at an approved facility and to be hull cleaned at the vessel operator s expense. The vessel needs to be hauled out as soon as possible but the cleaning does not need to be carried out immediately. When cleaning has been carried out to the satisfaction of the inspector the vessel will be issued a biosecurity clearance and will be free to be refloated.

The Pacific region is home to around a quarter of the world s globally threatened bird species. The region is also home to numerous species of threatened corals, plants, insects and other animals. We need to protect the region s wildlife to ensure it is there for future generations. Global trade in animals, plants and the various products made from them is controlled by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). CITES protects over 30,000 species of animals and plants worldwide. It aims to ensure that international trade in wildlife does not threaten their survival. Know before you go how does the law affect you? Some tourist souvenirs can threaten the most endangered species. You may be unaware that you are breaking the law by buying them or taking them from one country to another. For example, Tabua (whale tooth) and turtle shell (marine turtle) are both parts of threatened animals. Sometimes traders will not tell you the truth about what their product is made from or where they obtained it. If you buy something locally, it does not necessarily mean you can take it overseas. Don t be fooled by statements like, Believe me, it s OK. If you intend to buy or travel with wildlife products, contact the appropriate government departments before you leave or enter a country to find out if you need a permit. Without the correct permit, your product will be seized by border control officials. You may be subject to penalties or fines. Personal Items There are some exceptions to the rules. Contact your local CITES authority to find out more about the exemptions for personal items.
