The Maritime Safety Authority (MSA) will ensure that Maritime Management Services (MMS) are fulfilling the requirements of a safe ship management provider immediately. An audit of MMS has been conducted under section 54 of the Maritime Transport Act 1994. Final approval of MMS as a safe ship management provider has not yet been granted. The company is presently restricted to the level of 'recognition' by the MSA within our approval process. The MSA will proceed further with approval of this safe ship management company under the requirements of Part 21 of the Maritime Rules if they satisfactorily address our audit findings and recommendations and close out any non-conformance reports that may be received from a scheduled audit of their ISO system by Standards New Zealand in November.
