As part of international cooperative agreements New Zealand has
also provided personnel to assist with oil spills overseas.
The most recent was the provision
of support to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA)
during their response to the 1999 Laura D'Amato incident in Sydney Harbour.
Recent assistance has also been provided in
gathering evidence to assist AMSA in rosecuting
ships discharging oil into the maritime environment.
