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.

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 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.

As part of the 40D review, it is proposed to create a training course on vessel stability. The course being developed will be such that it can be presented to not only the fishing industry, but also to masters of non-passenger and passenger vessels.
MNZ is proposing to utilise a course developed by SNMAE (Society of Naval Architects and marine Engineers) called Fishing Vessel Stability Training Course. The course teaches, over the space of 1-2 hours, the basics of stability, from which many scenarios can be discussed.

In conjunction with the Ministry of Transport, critically review the maritime rule-making process to identify if there are areas where the timeliness of new and amended rules can be improved.

The nature of the rules contract between Ministry of Transport and Maritime New Zealand was independently reviewed in late 2007 to establish what opportunities there were to make the process more timely and effective. The results of that review are in the course of being implemented by the Ministry of Transport.
The Ministry of Transport is also currently seeking Cabinet approval to implement several recommendations from recent independent reviews of the transport rules programmes undertaken by Mary Scholtens QC and Richard Clarke QC.
