Mr Wood spoke about safeguarding the environment, use of any funds collected for transfers, and asked that tar-sand products be prohibited.
In response to questions, Mr Wood confirmed that the figures in his handouts were his interpretation of the information presented. He agreed it would be better to have transfers inside Nelson’s territorial waters under strict control than to have uncontrolled transfers outside of the boundary.

Ms O’Dea congratulated officers on the Active Travel and Pathway Based Recreation Policy. She encouraged councillors to trial using mobility scooters and walkers on pathways.
Ms O’Dea raised points about adequate signage, educating younger users, and considering the colour of paths to reduce glare.

Councillor Fulton, seconded by Councillor Ward, moved a motion
THAT the report Ship to Ship Transfer of Fuels (R4350) and its attachment (A1410835) be received;
AND THAT the Nelson City Council informs Maritime New Zealand that in the absence of specific details on ship to ship transfer of fuels operations the Council opposes the ship to ship transfer of fuels in our territorial waters and in waters bordering our territory because of the potential risks posed to our outstanding marine environment.
Those in support of the motion emphasised the risk of spills damaging the marine environment, not relying on the fossil fuel industry for income, and maintaining Nelson’s clean and green image. It was pointed out that Council was working on projects to improve the environment and waterways, and conditionally supporting ship to ship fuel transfers would not be aligned with our philosophies.
Attendance: Councillor Noonan returned to the meeting at 1.59pm.
Those against the motion spoke about the need to bring the operation within Nelson’s boundary so it could be controlled, and highlighted that history showed the risk of spills as minor.
Attendance: Councillor Noonan left the meeting at 2.16pm.
Her Worship the Mayor, seconded by Councillor Rainey, moved an amendment to add an additional clause to the motion:
AND THAT in light of the enclosed nature of Tasman Bay, Maritime New Zealand be requested to advise Nelson City Council if a ship to ship transfer is proposed to occur in Restricted Waters of Tasman Bay (between Separation Point and the north west tip of Durville Island)
The mover and seconded agreed to extend the reference to Restricted Waters from Farewell Spit to include Golden Bay, as well as add coordinates for clarity.
