When were Part B Registration fees going to drop?


Recommended Posts

So, sometime last year I remember either a thread itself or posts within a thread that Maritime NZ was going to drastically cut the ridiculous fees they charge to register your boat unde Part B.

 

So, um, when exactly is this supposed to happen?  As you can see below, the fees have not change one iota. 

I fear we were fed a bunch of BS.

 

Part B of the register 
Initial registration $1,175
Provisional certificate of registry $940
Renewal of registration (6 months or less before expiry) $940 Re-registration $1,175
Replacement certificate of registry $470
Change of ship’s name $470
Change of registered owner’s name $353
Certified transcript of registry $235
Certified copy of document $235 Computer print-out of registry details $235

Inspection of the register $118

Zane, I understand its happening soon, the owner of a cat we are crewing on to Fiji in June sometime is spitting tacks because they've been told they just miss the cutoff point, ie they still have to pay $1175

Hope you are right Trev.  I remain doubtful.  Anything that involves bureaucrats i immediately distrust.  They move quicker than the speed of light when they want to whack up fees for anything, and slower than continental drift when it comes to lowering them.  I fear MNZ are still stuck somewhere in Gondwana land in the Neoproterozoic period of about 550 million years ago.

Mine needs renewal by 17 September

Was just thinking yesterday that I could renew it now and forget about it for five and a half years.

Now I think I’ll wait a bit, if no one here know I’ll give them a call in a few months

Nice I’ll take that

Expensive printing and postage but $245 is a lot better than $940 to post me a replacement (date changed) piece of paper.
