Require all ferry operators offering scheduled ferry services within Auckland enclosed water limits to submit for approval to the council a detailed route operational plan for all scheduled ferry routes, then coordinate between operators to ensure that such passage plans as far as practical avoid ferries meeting on opposing tracks. The approved route operational plans should be required to form part of operators' safe ship management system.

Currently we have only four scheduled operators in the Auckland Harbour, Fullers, Pacific, Subritzky's and Stella Shipping. I have arranged a meeting with them this Friday to ensure that they will submit detailed route operational Plans and will include these in their Safe Ship management systems.
I will advise the results of my meeting and the inclusion of the routes into charts.
