This week sees the launch of the New Zealand Builders Plate conformance and Vessel Registration scheme. The scheme fills a known gap in the ability to demonstrate conformance of vessels in NZ. The scheme is open to new OEM vessels, imported and legacy vessels. This initiative provides tangible benefits to owners, manufacturers, service agents, insurers and will drive enhanced safety across the sector.
