Explanatory note This note is not part of the order, but is intended to indicate its general effect.

This order comes into force at 11.59 pm on 30 June 2020.
The purpose of this order is to prevent, and limit the risk of, an outbreak, or the spread, of COVID-19 by restricting which ships may arrive in New Zealand and put- 14 Reprinted as at 6 September 2020 COVID-19 Public Health Response (Maritime Border) Order 2020 Explanatory note ting in place isolation or quarantine requirements for people who arrive in New Zea- land by sea.

This order replaces the order made on 31 March 2020 under section 70 of the Health Act 1956 and will remain under active review.
This order is intended to provide greater certainty for safe maritime activities to take place that contribute to New Zealand’s economy.

It restricts the entry of foreign ships into New Zealand, with specific exemptions.

The order regularises the movement of cargo and permits the entry of ships for refitting and repair by the boat building indus- try, or for New Zealand operating purposes.
This order also puts in place stronger isolation or quarantine requirements for people arriving by sea, with specific exemptions, in order to minimise the risk of transmis- sion of COVID-19.

People arriving by sea will be required to be isolated or quaran- tined on the ship for 14 days upon arrival or to transfer to a managed facility if isola- tion or quarantine on the ship is not possible or a person is unable or unwilling to remain in isolation or quarantine on the ship.
This order’s isolation or quarantine requirements do not affect the immunities of for- eign State ships.

If the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade grants diplomatic clear- ance for a foreign State ship to arrive in New Zealand, it will do so subject to condi- tions that reflect the requirements in this order for ships that are not foreign State ships.

This order also allows for maritime crew changes.

It sets out requirements for mari- time crew arriving by air and transferring directly to a ship.
In addition, the order does not affect the obligations of persons arriving on ships to meet immigration requirements.

A person who does not comply with this order commits an offence under section 26 or 27 of the COVID-19 Public Health Response Act 2020.

An enforcement officer under that Act will have the authority to exercise powers under sections 20 to 25 of that Act.

Issued under the authority of the Legislation Act 2012.

Date of notification in Gazette: 26 June 2020.
