Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

When you are in charge of a boat or plane that carries people, you have to give some information to the government. You must tell the chief executive about everyone who wants to get on your boat or plane to travel to or from New Zealand. This includes people who did not get on for some reason, like if the chief executive said they could not.

The chief executive can say you do not have to give all of this information in certain situations. Even if you do not have to give all the information, you still have to give some of it if the chief executive asks for it. You have to give the information within 14 days of the boat or plane arriving in or leaving New Zealand.

You can find more information about this in section 96 and section 97 of the law. The chief executive can also make decisions under section 97 and section 97A that affect who can get on your boat or plane. You have to follow these rules when you are in charge of a boat or plane.
