The Part 200 rules made in 2006 are revoked. The new Part 200 builds on and extends the requirements of the previous Part 200. These include the requirement for operators of offshore installations to manage discharges, and prepare and respond to spills of harmful substances, under a discharge management plan approved by the Director of Maritime NZ.
This part provides, where appropriate, different requirements for installations in the territorial sea (which are subject to the Resource Management Act 1991) from the requirements for offshore installations within the exclusive economic zone or beyond the exclusive economic zone but above the continental shelf of New Zealand.
Part 200 gives effect to the provisions of the International Convention for the Prevention of
Pollution from Ships 1973/78 (MARPOL) and the International Convention on Oil Pollution
Preparedness, Response and Cooperation 1990 (OPRC) in respect of offshore installations.
