On Wednesday 19 April 2006 at about 0005, the fishing boat "Venture" grounded on the beach at the base of a small cliff just to the north of Tipi Bay in Tory Channel while on passage from Picton to Oamaru. After checking the watertight integrity of the boat, the skipper attempted to re-float the boat but was unsuccessful. As the boat was in no immediate danger and the crew had suffered no injuries, the skipper decided to wait until daylight before summoning assistance. The crew of a passing ferry noticed the boat aground and reported the incident to Picton harbour radio.

On Friday 3 March 2006 at about 1644, the passenger freight ferry Aratere unexpectedly rolled very heavily to starboard and sheared to port while on passage from Wellington to Picton in heavy weather in Cook Strait. About 30 minutes later the ship rolled heavily several times as the Master attempted to alter course to bring the weather onto the ship’s port bow and gain more clearance from the land. At about 1739, approximately one hour after the initial very heavy roll and shear, the Aratere again rolled very heavily to starboard and sheared to port.

At about 1142 on 22 November 2005, ZK-DZG, a Fletcher FU24-950 agricultural aeroplane was on a ferry flight to Whangarei Aerodrome with the pilot and a loader-driver on board when its vertical fin failed. The fin failure made the aircraft uncontrollable and it descended into trees, 10 kilometres from its destination. The aircraft was destroyed and both occupants were killed. A pre-existing network of cracks in the leading edge of the vertical fin had reached a critical size and had reduced the structural strength of the fin to such a degree that complete failure resulted.

On Saturday 20 November 2005 at about 1400, the restricted limit passenger vessel Milford Sovereign, with a Master, 10 crew and 238 passengers on board, was on a cruise of Milford Sound when it was struck by a gust of wind that heeled the ship and turned it from its intended course. The Master was unable to return the ship to its original course, so decided to continue the turn initiated by the wind and took the ship through 180 onto the reciprocal of its original course and returned the ship to the inner Sound.
