Compliance

"We worked with Oceans Academy on our Operator Plan and MNZ Exemption submission. It was a huge effort, but together we secured approval for three exciting years of SailGP racing in New Zealand!"

Lisa Daramin - Dual Olympian and SailGP Presenter

"Miranda excelled in compliance management and operational standards during the 36th America's Cup. With my extensive background in law enforcement and vessel fleet management, I was particularly impressed by her meticulous attention to detail and dynamic approach to maintaining survey compliance across diverse vessel types. Her proficiency in crew training and document management ensured seamless fleet operations. I highly recommend Miranda for any business seeking rigorous compliance management and operational expertise."

Martin Paget – Operations Manager

"Miranda was incredible to work with. She reviewed and updated our MTOP and standard operating procedures, giving us greater confidence in delivering a safe environment for over 1200 young people each year."

Evelin Van Vliet – General Manager

"Miranda effectively managed the compliance aspects for the vessels and crew whilst employed by the Auckland Harbourmaster"

Andrew Hayton – Auckland Harbourmaster

"Oceans Academy handled the MTOP for the Lakeland Queen — not an easy task given how unique the vessel is. Miranda also assisted with four exemption applications, all of which were approved. The process was technical and full of red tape, but her expertise and attention to detail made it look easy. We trust her so much that we're relying on her to help keep things on track for future audits"

Damon Hagaman – Director

"Miranda showed excellent knowledge of maritime law and bylaws throughout seven seasons with Bay of Plenty Regional Council as a maritime patrol officer"

Peter Buell – Harbourmaster

"Miranda was the Research RHIB skipper during the TAN2212 expedition to the Rangitāhua/Kermadec Islands aboard the RV Tangaroa. Her consistent focus on safety enabled proficient handling of launches, retrievals, and complex island landings. With 25 years of experience in diving and boating, she provided crucial insights and adapted to evolving research demands, greatly contributing to our project goals. Miranda's professionalism, positivity, and approachability were key to our mission's success under extended challenging conditions."

Dr. J. David Aguirre – Primary Investigator and Research Lead

"Miranda demonstrated outstanding safety leadership and compliance knowledge in establishing processes around our safety diver team deployed in our HUET Helicopter Underwater Escape Training programme. The combination of operational and procedural competence was a standout for us, the systems were high quality and gave us peace of mind that our training was delivered with a high standard of safety."

Martin Crooks – General Manager

"Miranda has a wealth of experience, from over ten years as a Coastguard tutor to managing our Commercial Mariners program. Her practical industry knowledge guided new skippers through their training challenges. She was approachable and genuinely cared about their success."

Trevor King – Coastguard Tutor Manager
