Lyttelton Shipping & Marine Agencies Limited

Lyttelton Shipping & Marine Agencies (LSMA) are the New Zealand agent for the Italian Antarctic Programme (PNRA).

We provide all local logistic and procurement support for the PNRA bases Mario Zucchelli Station and Concordia, plus all personnel transiting through New Zealand.

Our programme utilises a C130J Italian Air Force Hercules Aircraft and the N/R Laura Bassi logistics research vessel.

Our office is at the Antarctic precinct at Christchurch airport.

We also assist the French (IPEV) and German (BGR) Antarctic programmes that share logistical support with PNRA.
