Trip Reports
​A Trip Report (TR) can be logged by calling us from your VHF radio on Ch07.
  • See full list of Coastguard VHF Channels in New Zealand here 
When logging a TR you’ll be asked for your radio call sign. The format of a TR should provide:
  • Your boat’s name and call sign
  • Where you launched from
  • Where you plan to go
  • The number of people on board (POB)
  • When you plan to return (ETR)
Please remember to close your TR when you have arrived at your destination.
Failing to close a TR will NOT initiate a search.  If you require assistance you must be able to call for help.  It is also a good idea to ensure a trusted person can raise an alarm from ashore if you fail to return as planned.
In the event of an emergency, a TR will help rescue authorities know where to start looking and how many people are aboard. Coastguard's call sign database includes details of your emergency contact, the type, size and colour of your boat, what equipment you have aboard and other such details. It’s important you update your call sign details if you sell your boat or if any of your details change.
