The Seafarers Welfare Board for New Zealand co-ordinates the work of the Mission to Seafarers, Apostleship of the Sea, and the Sailors Society (New Zealand) in NZ and liaises with a number of other organisations involved in similar work, or who are interested in seafarers' welfare. Many of these are also members of the SWB.

Seafarers' Centres in the main ports of New Zealand are listed here.

The constitution of the SWB for NZ is given here

ISSUES: Maritime Labour Convention 2006 (MLC 2006).
The Seafarers Welfare Board urges the NZ government to ratify this convention.
