About Marine
As an island nation, the maritime sector is at the heart of New Zealand’s economic success and social fabric. This is an industry that often crosses sectors and involves collaboration to meet regulatory and industry needs. Maritime New Zealand works with port companies and regional councils, as well as education and certification providers.
Maritime NZ is one of four Crown entities monitored by the Ministry of Transport. They work to ensure the safety, security, and environmental protection of the marine environment. They do this through regulation, compliance, and response.
The maritime community in New Zealand is diverse and made up of everything from recreational dinghys to large trade vessels.
About Automotive
The Automotive industry measures its success by New Vehicle registrations within New Zealand. This is an industry that continues to experience record years of sales and new vehicles on our roads.
New Zealand has one of the highest car ownership ratios in the world. Toyota, Ford, and General Motors Holden division still dominate the new car market. Because of high demand and economic restructuring, most new - and sometimes older model - vehicles now enter New Zealand fully assembled. A small number of boutique kit and replica firms remain, but the majority of vehicles come from Japan.
