Royal NZ Coastguard
Text
It is a safety issue that the system for tasking a Coastguard rescue vessel does not always ensure that the people responsible for tasking or operating the vessel are in possession of sufficient information to make a prudent decision on whether the task should be undertaken. Further, a person independent of the crew should always involved in the decision process.
It is recommended that the Chief Executive of The Royal New Zealand Coastguard Inc. develops a nationwide standard that supports measured decisions based on the maximum available information when tasking coastguard vessels.

Coastguard to develop and implement a nationwide standard that supports measured decisions based on the maximum available information when tasking coastguard assets. As the environment we operate in is dynamic we see the investment in the decision making skills of those in charge as, if not more, valuable than a system or process and will continue to pursue this as our primary outcome.
Training component is being addressed within the CRM for CRV Masters and the Duty Officer or nominated Ground Person as part of the current Training Development Project to be completed for implementation from July 2011.
