Benefits of Membership
Fuel and oil discounts
We've negotiated a special discount for members for diesel, petrol and lube oil through Caltex Oil. Not only is this deal available for marine fuel, you can use it for your car too.
We are also talking to Gull Petroleum who have marine outlets in Auckland, Tauranga and Whangamata.
Mobile phones, landlines and toll plans
Thanks to Vodafone we can offer MTA members special rates for mobile phone calls, hardware, land lines and toll calls. These corporate rates are competitive and attractive
Advertising
Associate members NZ Professional Skipper and NZ Fishing News, offer discounted advertising. Full MTA members recieve a complimentary copy of NZ Professional Skipper.
Other
We have arrangements with Crystal Electronics Ltd for the discounted supply of Automated Information System (AIS) Transponders coupled with the Watchmate visual display unit. These units are required by the Auckland Harbour Master for use in restricted visibility and this is a trend which appears to be rolling out throughout all territorial authourity's up and down the country.
Valuable trade discounts include engines, paint, ropes, batteries, marine electronics, Visa/Mastercard merchant fees, printing, safety gear, marine supplies and hotel rooms.
Communications
MTA members receive Skipper Magazine bimonthly, updating them on marine issues, industry news, regulations, and a host of other things. We also put together a monthly email newsletter of topical issues.
Seminars and Conference
We hold an annual conference at various locations around the country. This is usually in September. We run regular Ferry Operator Seminars in conjunction with Maritime NZ "Target B" safety forum. This is a very popular event as it puts members in touch with our regulators giving you valuable information on issues that have a profound effect on the way you conduct your business. We also discuss such issues as employment, marketing and tax.
