Does anybody Know of a way to get some work in NZ? I used to live there when traveling years ago and would love to move back. I cant find any info on jobs over there. I just wanted to work on a tug towing wood or ship assist. It may not be realistic I just miss it there. I have my oceans indorsement and am just getting my500 ton master. I guess since it is domestic I would be using my 200ton Oceans. I just thought I would look into it before I settle down up here in PNW. Also is there any american captains running boats in Panama anymore?

Cheers, sorry for the random Question. My wife and I are buying a home next year and there are a couple places I would rather live.

Hi all,

First time poster, long time reader.

Many companies in New Zealand are actively looking to recruit foreigners at the moment. I just interviewed with Silver Fern a couple weeks back for a C/O position on their coastal tankers. Basically, they seem to be looking for foreigners to immigrate there, as of course to work in New Zealand you require a work visa, as well as Maritime New Zealand certificates. I was told I would need to submit my national documents, and take a nav safety oral exam to qualify for a Kiwi COC, you also need a company sponsor.

There have been a few companies advertising on [http://jobs.nautilusint.org/jobs/](http://jobs.nautilusint.org/jobs/). Mostly for tankers/ferries/harbor masters if I remember. But I have not checked in a while.

You can check out [http://www.sfsl.co.nz/](http://www.sfsl.co.nz/) they operate 2 coastal tankers.

Cheers and good luck
