Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You need to know that Parts 19 to 27 of the Maritime Transport Act apply to New Zealand Defence Force ships in international waters. These parts apply to the same extent as they do in New Zealand waters. You can read more about this in Parts 19 to 27. Parts 19 to 27 do not apply fully to these ships, as some rules do not apply. For example, Annex VI requirements do not apply to New Zealand Defence Force ships. You can find more information about the law that applies to these ships by reading section 4(2).
