Issue date:Conduct a safety assessment on the benefits of establishing navigational light beacons on prominent points around Lake Wakatipu to assist the safe navigation of vessels at night.
Issue date:revise the educational material on wake turbulence to include guidance for operations at uncontrolled aerodromes, and to emphasise that pilots should observe the ICAO recommended minimum separation distance between light aircraft and report any severe wake turbulence incidents.
Issue date:On 18 November 2020 the Commission recommended that Maritime New Zealand ensure that future Maritime Rules require appropriate stability, buoyancy, and survivability assessments with respect to a vessel’s area of operation, and that information is made available for all domestic commercial passenger vessels.
Issue date:Institute standard operating procedures for maritime based activities in the port. These procedures should be prepared in conjunction with the port marine services provider. Items to be covered, but not limited to, should include limiting conditions, critical decision processes and chain of command.

Issue date:take all appropriate steps to ensure that information about flight instructor demographics (e.g. qualifications, experience levels, age) and flight instructor performance and competency levels is regularly collected, categorised and recorded in a way that will enable it to be analysed meaningfully
Issue date:critically review each rescue boat and its launching arrangement in the Interisland Line fleet and ensure that the crew are afforded a level of protection against mishap that is commensurate with the function of the craft, paying particular attention to seating arrangements in craft purchased in future.
Issue date:That in the event of an emergency on board a commercially operated jet boat there was no easily-accessible quick-acting means to isolate electrical power and fuel systems including fuel venting arrangements. This could be an issue to address across the industry.
Issue date:The train controller in this case made an assumption that the passenger train had passed a particular location based on information from the person-in-charge. Rather than verifying the train's location, the train controller acted on his assumption and authorised the person-in-charge to occupy a section of track that the passenger train was approaching.
Issue date:On 27 May 2021 the Commission recommended that Maritime New Zealand, when assessing or auditing operator safety systems for fishing vessels, review the adequacy of watchkeeping training programmes for upskilling unqualified deckhands to a level that meets good industry practice and complies with the requirements of Maritime Rules Part 31.
