MO-2022-205
TAIC supported a preliminary investigation by the Isle of Man into a missing-person incident aboard the Isle of Man-registered bulk carrier Berge Rishiri. The crew member was last seen at 0800 on 29 August 2022 after completing duty in the engine room and failed to report for their next shift at 1600, prompting an onboard search assisted by another vessel and a rescue helicopter. The ship was outside New Zealand’s 12-nautical-mile limit, so New Zealand is gathering evidence on behalf of the flag state under the IMO Casualty Investigation Code.

RO-2022-103
Report into near-miss between bus and train in Christchurch recommends KiwiRail work with road controlling authorities to improve risk management for unplanned disconnections of level-crossing protections. KiwiRail disconnected the Selwyn Street level crossing when a fault could not be repaired on the day it was identified. There was no traffic management in place because KiwiRail hadn’t told council that due to an unplanned disconnection, the signals were not working.
