Maritime Transport (MARPOL Annex VI) Amendment Bill

Bills are proposals to make a new law or to change an existing one. Only Parliament can pass a bill. Each bill goes through several stages, giving MPs and the public the chance to have their say.

This bill provides a power for the Minister to make marine protection rules in relation to Annex VI substances, and for the Director of Maritime New Zealand to conduct inspections and audits in relation to Annex VI requirements and to detain ships that are in contravention of Annex VI requirements.
