WJ5.50 Departure procedure (17/12/2012)

1. Wherever possible, the New Zealand employer or the New Zealand Charter Party (NZCP) must endeavour to have out-going foreign crew transported to their airport of departure. Where practicable, the employer or NZCP must also seek the assistance of airport officials in accompanying foreign crew to the boarding gate.
2. The employer must give sufficient notice of at least 24 hours of crew departure to allow crew members the opportunity to contact and meet with their authorised representative before departing New Zealand.

Note: Where foreign crew depart with the vessel, as opposed to via a foreign flight, compliance with (a) above is not required.
