Contracted or Devolved ?

Funded by single monthly contract fee from MFish.

MFish then recovers this in Crown Levies

Funded by transaction

charges and levies set by ASDO, and charged direct to

industry

Considerations when setting fees

• Avoiding cross subsidisation between SDA and ASDO

• Exposure to bad debts with ASDO levies

• Differential between electronic and manual services

• Alignment of actual costs to appropriate charges

• Current and future capital and cash requirements

Transition

SeaFIC formed CFS trading as ‘FishServe’,

as a result of a Ministry of Fisheries decision to contract out services that were provided by

its Fisheries Services department

A third of the work that

FishServe does was devolved

Transition – Organisation

August 1999

SeaFIC was appointed as Approved Service Delivery Organisation

(ASDO)

The majority of FishServe staff at the time transferred from the Ministrys’ Fisheries Services department, and continued to provide services under contract to the Ministry of Fisheries

October 2001

This meant that FishServe was now accountable for these services, including any of the liability/risk

associated with them.

FishServe will be the preferred supplier of statutory registry services to the New Zealand Seafood Industry

Goals

Our Services will allow the industry to be self-sufficient, and to use current technology to interact with us and meet its

registry needs.

Our Organisation will be lean, professional and focussed on our clients needs, delivering high quality services at the

lowest possible cost

We will have developed a profitable subsidiary company, which will build on the knowledge of our expert staff and will be making a contribution to reducing the costs of services to

the industry
