Maritime NZ accepts the recommendation but notes that such vessels are not currently required to carry AIS. However, Maritime NZ accepts there is safety issue, and will ensure that such vessels are aware of this recommendation and will strongly recommend that AIS is fitted pending consideration of an amendment to the maritime rule.

Safety Recommendation
013/09
Issued To
MNZ
on 27 Apr 09
Address the safety issue whereby the risk assessment for the Port of Taharoa that was in its draft form, after 4 years of development, did not follow the recognised methodology to classify and apply the appropriate measures to mitigate the risks. The safety management system that the risk assessment underpins must be regarded as fragile until an expert independent total review of it is made.

Address with the port operator and the owner of the port safety management system the issue whereby the mandatory requirements of SOLAS and New Zealand Maritime Rules, including reference to guidelines such as the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes and the Code of Practice for the Safe Loading and Unloading of Bulk Cargoes, have not been incorporated into standard operating procedures, nor have they been followed.

Forward this report to Panama, the Flag State for the Taharoa Express, and invite its comment on how it will address the safety issue whereby an analysis of the sloshing forces the free water imparts on the structure of the Taharoa Express during loading in the open port was not fully considered by the Classification Society on behalf of Panama when the ship was converted for slurry loading. A formal safety assessment should be undertaken and a special survey programme introduced depending on the results.

Forward this report to Panama, the Flag State for the Taharoa Express, and invite its comment on how it will address the safety issue where the stability computer on the ship was not capable of calculating the free surface effect of the free water in the cargo holds during the loading process, so that when the ship was forced to put to sea prematurely, the true stability of the ship could not be quickly and efficiently calculated.

Forward this report to Panama, the Flag State for the Taharoa Express, and work with it on how it is going to address the issue concerning the past and current loading procedure for the Taharoa Express, which results in the ship sailing with the iron sand cargo above its transportable moisture limit, without a formal assessment having been conducted to determine whether the cargo is capable of liquefaction under normal load and transit conditions, and without determining whether the Flag State Panama should grant an exemption for sailing with its cargo above transportable moisture limit.
