improve the maintenance and repair regime for navigation marks within Manukau Harbour to ensure a high reliability factor is achieved that is consistent with the number and configuration of light beacons. This system should at least result in any ship transiting the harbour knowing what navigation marks are serviceable.

This has been done. Over 20 new LED lights have been fitted on the Manukau harbour since this incident. A bi monthly inspection regime is in place in addition to users reports. All lighting outages are reported to users by emails, fax and eventually notices to mariners (this has always happened).
