Ten Year Challenge...

By -



Carol Forsyth - Vessel & Volunteer Manager NZMM 2008-2014
At the end of every year I like to reflect over it - both personally and professionally - the best, the worst, what I've learnt from them all and how I can make the following year amazing.
Then I set my goals for the coming year.
For most of us, we overestimate what we can do in a year and underestimate what we can do in a decade or two.   
So as this year comes to an end, its timely to reflect on our past decade to see whats happened - and like me, there's probably a lot. 
Looking back for me, in 2009 I:
  • Had replaced the helm for a desk
  • Was the Vessel & Volunteer Manager at the NZ Maritime Museum
  • Wrote a regular column for Professional Skipper magazine
  • Served on the Auckland Sailors Society as a board member.
Fast forward to 2019 and I:
  • Am self employed in the compliance sector of the maritime industry
  • Have written and published two books
  • Produce & sell my art prints and lithographs
  • Am Race Controller for the Auckland Anniversary Day Tugboat Race.
So if you haven't already, I challenge you to look back on your past ten years before setting goals for next year.

A box of seedlings...

In 1834 botanist John Edgerley  gathered a handful of seeds from a Norfolk Island pine tree and boarded a sailing ship bound for the Hokianga Harbour.    Those seeds became the first 'shipment' of Norfolk Pines to New Zealand. Two years later, John and Captain McDonnell  journeyed to the Bay of Islands - with a box of young Norfolk pines. Captain McDonnell took the box of seedlings to  Gilbert & Elizabeth Mair who   owned the flourishing trading post and ship repair yard at Te Wahapu Point. Elizabeth was a busy mother with five young children (one a new baby) and she planted one of the sapling trees beside her home.  Her sister-in-law Matilda  took one home to Kaitaia and planted it beside her home.  James Busby planted two by the Treaty House at Waitangi and many Northland Mission Stations - including Te Waimate, received a tree or two. The remaining saplings were destroyed by Gilbert & Elizabeth's young daughter...

Four ways to tell if YOU are 'out of date'

By -

The maritime industry is full of changes, there have been so many over such a short time. If we are out of date, we are living in the past, and we must move with the times. Here's how to tell if you are 'out of date': 1.  You refer to MNZ (Maritime New Zealand) as MSA (Maritime Safety Authority). Ten years ago MSA changed to MNZ. 2.  You try to sell a commercial vessel saying it is in SSM (Safe Ship Management). If it actually still has a current SSM Certificate, it is so close to expiring that its hardly worth mentioning. All maritime transport operators are deemed to be in MOSS (Maritime Operator Safety System) anyway. 3. You refer to a vessel as being in MOSS (Maritime Operator Safety System) A vessel isn't in MOSS, the operator is. Vessels are 'in survey' like a vehicle has a Warrant of Fitness (WOF) 4. If you sell a vessel, and don't tell MNZ. If a vehicle is sold, a Change of Ownership form is filled out. If a vessel is sold, MNZ nee...

Vessel Manuals make great training aids...

One of the ferry skippers I worked with sketched me four pages of 'how the ship operated'.  I treasured those scraps of paper as it was my training manual whilst I was on board.   That master was the only one to write the vessel information down - and he was passionate about it. (Thanks Aaron) Having a good Vessel Manual gets information out of people's heads and into one place.  It is referred to in the Maritime Transport Operator Plan and can also be used as a training manual. Crew training and sign offs are formulated from a Vessel Manual and training manuals can also be created using the manual. Crew should be trained to find their way in the dark and not only locate, but also operate emergency equipment fast and in adverse conditions. Once a crew person knows the ship inside and out, they are ready to take a responsible position on board.  Until then, they can often be a liability rather than an asset.
