What is SurveyLink?
A single platform that connects everyone involved in keeping New Zealand's commercial vessels surveyed, compliant, and safe. Built specifically for the MOSS framework.
Vessel Management
Complete vessel records — principal particulars, survey history, certificates, ownership, and documents. Search by MNZ number, name, length, category, or area of operation.
Survey Workflow
Track every survey from initial engagement through field inspection to certificate delivery. Know what's due, what's in progress, and what needs attention.
Report Generation
Survey data captured in the field feeds directly into report templates. Review, edit, and issue professional survey reports and certificates of survey.
Mobile Field App
Take the platform to the vessel. Capture survey data, photos, and deficiencies on-site — even without internet. Syncs automatically when back in range.
Accreditation Tracking
Surveyor recognitions, qualifications, and operational areas linked to the MNZ recognition framework. The platform checks you're accredited before you start.
Certificate Management
Issue, track, and deliver certificates of survey. Automatic expiry monitoring. Certificates shared with vessel operators and regulators on completion.
Built for three groups
Each sees the same data from a different perspective. Surveyors manage surveys, operators manage their vessels, and the regulator has oversight of the system.

How a survey flows through SurveyLink
From the moment a survey is due through to the certificate sitting in the operator's hands.
Survey Triggered
The platform flags when a vessel's survey is due based on the survey plan. The surveyor sees it in their pipeline.
Field Capture
The surveyor takes the mobile app to the vessel. Inspection data, photos, and deficiencies captured on-site.
Report Generated
Field data populates the report automatically. The surveyor reviews, edits, and approves from the web platform.
Certificate Issued
Certificate of survey generated and delivered to the operator. The regulator has visibility. Records filed automatically.
Purpose-built for New Zealand maritime
SurveyLink is designed around the Maritime Operator Safety System (MOSS) and the NZ maritime survey framework.
New Zealand's commercial fleet operates under the Maritime Transport Act and Maritime Rules (Part 40 series). Every commercial vessel requires regular surveys by MNZ-accredited surveyors to maintain its certificate of survey.
SurveyLink understands the different survey types — initial, in-construction, periodic, intermediate, and renewal — and maps them to the correct surveyor accreditation requirements automatically.
The platform supports all surveyor recognition categories including recognised surveyors, design approvers, authorised persons, compass adjusters, radio surveyors, and radio inspectors.
