Transport Accident Investigation Commission opens inquiry : FV Easy Rider, capsize and sinking, Foveaux Strait, 14/15 Mar 12
The Transport Accident Investigation Commission has opened an inquiry (12-201) into this accident.
A three-member investigation team consisting of a master mariner as Investigator-in-charge, a naval architect, and a liaison/logistics manager will arrive in Invercargill from mid-morning, Friday, 16 March.
The Commission’s inquiry will seek to explain the accident with a view to identifying key lessons and making any recommendations that may help prevent a similar event in the future. Its inquiry will work alongside but independent from any investigations by other agencies, such as Maritime New Zealand or the Police.
