That distraction of jet boat drivers when driving at high speeds that require a high degree of concentration had not been identified as a risk to the operation and was the main factor contributing to this accident. This could be an issue to address across the industry.

This hazard will be identified to operators during routine liaison visits, which will also assist MNZ to determine the scale of the problem across the sector. Operators’ management of the hazard will be monitored and assessed during subsequent audits. MNZ will then assess whether further action, such as a Safety Bulletin, is necessary.
