Emergency Response Plan
Incidents and emergencies can happen at any time, being prepared for them can make it easier to deal with them in a timely and safe manner. Keeping people safe is of the utmost importance.
Seaview Marina has an Emergency Station on every pier which has life rings, fire extinguishers and fire hoses as well as an emergency alarm button that will sound an alarm and activate a light at the gate of each pier. This is to indicate where the alarm is sounding for emergency response vehicles.
The hardstand has spill response kits (in yellow bins) at the diesel pump, next to the travel lift dock and in the hardstand workshop in the Wellington Sea Centre.
A Defibrilator is located outside the main office door so is accessible at all hours.
The Wellington Marine Centre evacuation point is at the coffee cart next to Burnsco.
Storms and Heavy Weather
Heavy weather and storms can pose a direct threat to boats both on and off the water. Checking the weather regularly and preparing the boat for an upcoming event can minimise or eliminate damage.
Secure all loose items – kayaks, fenders biminis, lines, temporary tarpaulins, paddle boards etc
Disconnect shore power leads
Double check all sails are secure, including headsails. If you have a furling headsail and are on the hardstand it is extremely important to secure it from getting loose and pulling the boat out of the cradle.
Spill Response
The first consideration in a spill is the safety of people nearby.
You must know how to safely store and use all the chemicals you bring on site. You may be asked for documentation on dangerous products brought onto SML property.

Stop the spill from entering the marina.
Shut of valves.
Turn off bilge pumps.
