| Title |
Craft Risk Management Standard for Vessels |
| Summary |
The proposed Vessels standard combines the current vessels and biofouling requirements (currently found in CRMS-Biofoul) into a single document. This will result in the CRMS-Biofoul being revoked. Some changes to these requirements have been made to ensure that the Vessels standard remains fit for purpose.
Major changes include extended time allowed for short-stay vessels in New Zealand, the inclusion of requirements for vessel biofouling inspections, and a change in common name of regulated pests – Lymantria species (formerly AGM). The Lymantria species risk period will also be extended and may require more vessels to obtain certificates of freedom.
