Mechanics Bay Heliport - Auckland, New Zealand - Helicopter Landing Pads on Waymarking.com

Mechanics Bay Heliport is the base for a number of sightseeing and commercial flight companies, as well as Westpac Rescue Helicopter.

It is located next to the Auckland Marine Rescue Centre at the eastern end of the Ports of Auckland container terminal. The circular building houses a marine communications centre that is operational 24/7/365 and fields over 100,000 calls per year from trip reports to emergency calls (dealing with around 1,600 actual incidents a year). These calls are mainly via VHF marine radio or cell phone. The radio room as well as the emergency craft of the Coastguard are largely manned by volunteers. Several meeting rooms for events and functions are also available.
