Seminars will be held in Wellington, Napier, Auckland and Tauranga in November and December this year.  A further round is scheduled for Nelson, Christchurch, Westport, Greymouth and Invercargill in February and March 2002. These free seminars are open to anyone involved in the maritime industry, including ship operators, seafarers, maritime organisations, local authorities and other providers of maritime safety and environmental services.

Running from 10.30 to 12.30, the morning session will provide for discussion on the MSA’s current and future work programme, including developments in maritime rules. The afternoon session will be workshop based and will give you the opportunity to take part in discussion on specific topics.  Three one hour workshops covering different topics will run concurrently between 1 and 2 pm, and will be repeated between 2 and 3 pm.  This means you can attend two workshop discussion groups in the afternoon.

Groups will then report back in the final wrap-up session, where you will also be able to raise any other issues not covered during the day.
