Keep your vessel safe with Moorings Northland

Swing mooring services since 1984

What We Do

Your NRC approved mooring contractor

Moorings Northland is Northland’s leading specialist swing mooring service provider. Locally owned, we hold approved contractor status with the Northland Regional Council (NRC). From Houhora to Whangarei, we provide expert mooring inspection, maintenance and certification along Northland’s east coast.

Registered swing moorings must be inspected, maintained and certified at least every three years according to the Northern Regional Council’s licensing terms. Failure to do so can result in fines, mooring forfeit, and the cancellation of insurance. We’re here to help you stay compliant and keep your vessel safe.

A trusted name in mooring maintenance

Based in the Bay of Islands, we service around 70% of the region’s moorings, consistently delivering safe, reliable, and efficient solutions for boat owners.

Compliance is key to protecting your vessel

Registered swing moorings in Northland are required to be inspected and serviced every three years – this is a condition of the consent mooring license with the Northland Regional Council. Failure to do so could result in your mooring being forfeited and your vessel insurance invalidated. Your boat’s safety is our priority and we’re here to help you stay compliant.

Our commitment to safe operations

The Moorings Northland team is proud of our exemplary safety record. We only work in safe operating conditions and do not work in high winds, heavy rain, or rough sea conditions. Due to our operating and safety plan, Maritime New Zealand has given Moorings Northland the lowest risk rating as a commercial maritime operator.
