Notice to Mariners No. 50 of 1953

QUARANTINE AND ALLIED PROCEDURES

Procedure Before Arrival

1. General Requirements.—The master of any ship equipped with wireless installation if liable to quarantine and about to enter a New Zealand port shall, not later than twenty-four hours before entering such port, notify the Port Health Officer by radio of the state of health of such ship.

The term ‘‘ship liable to quarantine’’ means:

(1) Every ship arriving in New Zealand from a place beyond the seas;

(2) Every ship arriving at any port in New Zealand from any infected place in New Zealand;

(3) Every ship on board which any infectious disease, or disease reasonably believed or suspected to be an infectious disease, has broken out or been discovered; and

(4) Every other ship which is ordered into quarantine by the Port Health Officer.

2. Vessels Carrying Surgeons.—Should any such ship carry a surgeon a later radio message is acceptable on the following conditions:

Within twenty-four hours of arrival the Medical Officer of the ship is to satisfy himself that no infectious disease exists on board and not later than six hours before the ship is due to enter port a radio message should be sent to the Port Health Officer at the port of arrival on the New Zealand coast stating either ‘‘Healthy’’ or that there is sickness on board.

Arrival

On arrival the vessel showing the correct quarantine signal is to proceed to the inspection area to await the arrival of the Port Health Officer. Inspections are normally carried out between 0700 and 1900 hours.

Boarding Before Pratique is Granted

Subject to the discretion of the Port Health Officer and the conditions set out below officials of Government Departments (Customs, Police, Immigration), representatives of shipping companies and the press may board a vessel in the inspection area or while it is proceeding to the wharf, before pratique is granted. The conditions are—

(a) The ship must have reported a ‘‘healthy’’ ship.

(b) The authority of the Port Health Officer, either written or oral, is to be obtained in each case.

(c) Persons boarding before pratique is granted may be required to remain on board until it is granted and to comply with any directions which the Port Health Officer may give.
