Marina Rules

These Rules apply to all Berth Occupiers and users of Marsden Cove Marina and its facilities (Marina). These Rules supplement and are additional to the terms and conditions contained in the Marina Berth Rental Agreement.

COMPLIANCE
  1. You must, when using a Berth and the Vessel, always comply with these Rules, all legal requirements or notices affecting or relating to the Berth and/or the Vessel, and any instructions from Marina staff.
  2. You are responsible for ensuring your passengers and invitees comply with these Rules.
SHORE POWER
  1. All vessels are required to have an electrical warrant of fitness (EWOF) in accordance with the New Zealand Electrical Code of Practice (ECP-29) if connecting to shore power permanently. An Electrical Compliance Form is to be completed and provided to Marina staff prior to connecting to any shore power supply. If a connection to shore power is made without an EWOF by the Vessel, you will be liable for any damage caused to any Marina property or any other person or person’s property because of a breach of this requirement.
  2. The following conditions must be met to ensure compliance with the Electrical Regulations, (EPC-29):
    1. All components of the supply lead must be appropriate for the demands placed upon it.
    2. The supply power cable must be one continuous length and be a heavy-duty tough rubber sheathed cable.
    3. The supply cable must be arranged to permit normal movement of the Vessel at its Berth. It must be secured to avoid damage, minimise accidental disconnection and tripping hazard.
    4. You must not leave excess cable coiled up and it must be spread out inside the Vessel to avoid the cable heating up and melting insulation.
CONDUCT AND NOISE
  1. You must not create a noise nuisance, whether through parties or the use of television, generators, radio, musical devices or any other form of sound reproduction or otherwise. Ropes, rigging, sails and halyards on your Vessel must be secured to eliminate any unreasonable noise.
  2. No unlawful activities shall be conducted from your Vessel or the Berth. Any obnoxious behaviour or abuse (verbal or otherwise) to other Marina users, staff and/or visitors is unacceptable and will not be tolerated within the Marina.
  3. No alcohol is to be consumed within the Marina except on private vessels or on licenced premises.
WATER ACTIVITIES
  1. You must not discharge any sewage or empty toilet waste into the Marina waters. Disposal of waste material may only be made into suitable receptacles provided by the Marina.
  2. Your Vessel must be equipped with a sewage holding tank that can be discharged into a land-based pump out facility. There are pump out facilities located on “A” Pier and the Fuel Jetty.
  3. If you do not have a holding tank on board your Vessel, then your toilet outflow will be sealed by Marina staff to prevent use for the duration of your stay at the Marina.
  4. No hull cleaning may be carried out in the Marina.
