Marinas are dynamic environments, and being prepared for emergencies is essential. Pine Harbour Marina has procedures in place to respond to incidents such as fire, medical events, environmental hazards or vessels in distress.
Marina staff work alongside emergency services and follow established protocols to ensure swift, coordinated responses when needed — helping to protect people, vessels and infrastructure.
Emergency Numbers (New Zealand)
- Emergency services: 111 (Fire / Police / Ambulance)
- Coastguard marine assistance: VHF Channel 16 (standard maritime emergency channel)
- Marine distress: VHF 16 is monitored for calls at sea and in harbour.
On-Site Actions
- If you are at the marina and witness a fire, person in distress, spill, or other threat:
- Call 111 immediately.
- Notify marina office/staff.
- Assist only if it’s safe to do so (don’t put yourself in danger).
- Follow directions from emergency responders and marina personnel.
