Review signals for this sector

Vessel, operating area or activity changes
Check whether the safety system, MTOP or Maritime NZ notification/approval requirements are affected.
Survey, certificate or safety-equipment issue
Review expiry, conditions, defects, maintenance and whether the vessel remains suitable for the operation.
New skipper, crew member or changed duty
Confirm required certification plus vessel familiarisation, practical capability and emergency responsibilities.
Person-overboard, machinery, fatigue or watchkeeping event
Review the control, work method, equipment, staffing and whether the same risk exists elsewhere in the operation.
Emergency drill exposes a weakness
Update procedures, equipment, training or role clarity and then verify the change works in practice.
Audit finding, incident or corrective action
Assign ownership and verify closure rather than treating the record itself as proof the issue is fixed.

Management review prompts

Does the documented safety system still match the operation actually being run?
Are vessel and seafarer certificates current for the work being performed?
Are maintenance or equipment defects recurring?
Can crew perform their practical and emergency duties, not merely show a training record?
Are incidents, near misses and audit findings revealing a repeated control weakness?
Did corrective action change what happens aboard the vessel?

This dashboard supports management review. It does not certify maritime compliance or replace the Maritime Rules, Marine Protection Rules, operator safety system, survey or certification requirements applying to the operation.
