The information provided on this page includes the Port’s response plans and outlines important guidance and basic procedures for preparing and responding to emergencies, as well as where to go for further information.

Napier Port Emergency Response Plan

The purpose of the Napier Port emergency response plan is to, in the event of an emergency within the limits of the Ports’ geographical areas of responsibility, specify means for raising the alarm, summoning assistance and establishing the role of organisations involved in order to co-ordinate the activities necessary in safeguarding life, property and the environment, as well as to ensure that everyone is aware of the procedures to be adopted in the event of an emergency.

Tier 1 Marine Oil Spill Response Plan

This plan is provided to assist Napier Port and other port user companies in dealing with an accidental discharge of oil on land or marine resources surrounding the port. Its primary purpose is to set in motion the necessary actions to stop or minimise the discharge and to mitigate its effects.
