About the NZ Branch of the Nautical Institute

As only the second branch outside of the United Kingdom, the inaugural meeting of the New Zealand branch was held in October 1983.

To be able to represent members throughout the country, the New Zealand branch initiated the Port Liaison Officers in all major port areas of the country.

It is our goal to provide a New Zealand focus on the objectives of the Institute by conducting regular meetings, with guest speakers, and by facilitating communication with members throughout the country. The Committee members and the Port Liaison Officers (PLO) conduct a central function enabling the exchange of views and experiences of members throughout New Zealand. Individual members are encouraged to share ideas and observations through the local PLO or directly to the NZ Branch Secretary.

The New Zealand branch is committed to use and maintain its website to uphold and promote local issues & views, and email to facilitate communications among branch members and beyond. All members will be kept informed of branch activities through the “News and Views” newsletter that will be sent via email, to follow you around the world, or via regular mail to your home address.
