New Zealand SAR Region

 

  
This region (NZSRR) covers over six million square miles of ocean expanses and relatively small, isolated land masses. The map above shows the SRR boundaries, which in general span a wide east - west segment (163E to 131W) with north - south limits ranging from 5S to the Pole.

New Zealand's maritime area of responsibility is known as Nav Area XIV. Nav Area XIV is that bounded by the points South pole, 45°S 160°E, 29°S 170°E, Equator 170°E, Equator 120°W, South pole. This area is bigger than the NZSRR although its boundaries include most of the SRR itself.
