Maritime Transport Act 1994

Duties in relation to maritime activity - Duties in relation to crewing

24: Inspection of provisions

You could also call this:

"Checking the food and supplies on New Zealand ships"

If you are on a New Zealand ship, you have the right to complain about the food and other provisions. You can write a complaint with at least half of the crew, and the Director will get it. The Director will then check if the ship has enough food and provisions as required by the law, which is stated in section 23(1)(a), and they will do this by carrying out inspections and audits as outlined in section 54.
