Emergency Plans

Marinas are busy places, and being prepared for an emergency is essential. Bayswater Marina has procedures in place for incidents such as fire, medical events, spills and vessels in distress, and our team works alongside emergency services when they’re needed.

Emergency numbers

• Fire, police or ambulance: call 111.
• Emergencies on the water: call 111 or use VHF Channel 16.
• Non-urgent help on the water: call Coastguard on *500 from a mobile.
• Bayswater Marina office: +64 9 446 1600.

If you see an emergency at the marina

1. Call 111 straight away if anyone’s life or property is at risk.
2. Tell the marina team so we can help and guide emergency services to the right pontoon.
3. Only help if it’s safe. Don’t put yourself in danger.
4. Follow the directions of emergency services and marina staff.

Be ready on board

• Know where your nearest fire extinguisher and life ring are.
• Keep lifejackets, a charged VHF radio and a first-aid kit on board.
• Keep your contact details up to date with the marina office, so we can reach you if something happens to your boat.
