3.2 Main Body Content

The annual Maritime and Oil Pollution Levies for the year 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026 will be invoiced in late July 2025.

Make sure your contact details are up to date

Domestic commercial operators of applicable vessels can expect to receive their annual levy invoices via email or post in late July 2025. Please notify us if your contact and vessel details, including email and postal address, have changed so that you receive the right invoice. If you have recently bought or sold a commercial vessel, or you have stopped operating, please notify us. This will ensure that your annual levy invoice is correct.

How to notify Maritime NZ and update your details

Complete this Change of vessel status or ownership form and email it to [email protected]. If the change applies to more than one vessel, please complete a separate form for each one.
