Illustration for Maritime Transport Act 1994

You are part of the Maritime Safety Authority of New Zealand. If you were a member before this law started, you are now a member under section 429. Your time as a member will end on the date it would have ended under the old law. You might be the Director of Maritime Safety. If you were the Director before this law started, you are now the Director under section 439. This law changes how some things work for the Maritime Safety Authority of New Zealand. If you were appointed under the old Maritime Transport Act 1993, your appointment will still end on the same date. This is because the new law does not change the end date of your appointment. You will keep doing your job until your appointment ends.
