"We worked with Oceans Consulting 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!"

"I worked with Miranda from Oceans Consulting on the 36th America's Cup, focusing on the course marshal program, including crew training and managing on-water operations for a fleet exceeding 25 vessels. With my background in law enforcement and fleet management, Miranda's attention to detail and streamlined processes impressed me, easing the workload in a demanding environment. I highly recommend Oceans Consulting for expertise in survey compliance, customised training, and operational management."

"Miranda from Oceans Consulting 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."

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

"Oceans Consulting handled the MTOP and MTOC application for the Lakeland Queen — not an easy task given how unique the vessel is. Miranda also assisted with our exemption applications, all of which were approved. The process was technical and full of red tape, but she was a great support and made it much easier. We trust her so much that we're relying on her to help us keep things on track for future audits"

"Miranda showed excellent knowledge of maritime rules and bylaws throughout seven seasons with the Bay of Plenty Regional Council as a maritime patrol officer. Her commercial skippering experience means that Oceans Consulting can offer practical, not just academic, solutions that work in the real world."

"Miranda from Oceans Consulting 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."

"Miranda from Oceans Consulting 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."

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

"I fully support Oceans Consulting in delivering effective safety solutions for your business. Having known and worked with Miranda for over 25 years in NZ and on the Great Barrier Reef, her extensive background in scuba and commercial maritime, combined with experience in high-intensity tourism environments, gives Oceans Consulting a practical understanding of real-life industry needs."

"Oceans Consulting has significantly assisted operators by guiding them through Maritime New Zealand's compliance processes and helping to create essential documents like MTOPs. This support has made operators more comfortable, streamlined projects, and freed me to focus on vessel surveys."

"We worked with Oceans Consulting to successfully train 120 Course Marshals in our On-water Tactical Communications Training Programme ahead of the 36th America's Cup. I highly recommend Oceans for their efficient project management and seamless programme delivery."

"I can vouch for Oceans Consulting's technical expertise and comprehensive approach. Oceans Consulting helps streamline maritime safety compliance and system implementation, making processes simpler and safer. Many businesses are eager to comply but are overwhelmed by complex requirements and time constraints. Oceans Consulting's support overcomes these barriers to compliance allowing businesses to focus on implementing safe systems and more efficiently run their operations."
