Maritime NZ has opened an investigation after a worker died in an incident at Wellington’s CentrePort this morning.
Logistics company C3 confirmed the deceased was one of its employees and said its immediate focus was supporting his family, colleagues and those who responded at the scene.
CentrePort chief executive Anthony Delaney told state-funded media the worker was employed by an independent stevedoring company and that CentrePort was cooperating with C3, Maritime NZ and police.
The circumstances surrounding the death have yet to be established, with Maritime NZ promising a thorough investigation and noting the substantial safety work undertaken across the port sector over the past four years. The Maritime Union expressed its condolences to the worker’s family, friends and colleagues, while WorkSafe has also been notified.

But what actually happened?
Should dockworkers and shipping companies be informed in the event a hazardous condition might still exist???
Where are the Labour Unions? Are they going to be consulted? Did they possibly point-out this hazardous condition, and other like it, only to have concerns fall on deaf ears??
The Rail and Maritime Union was pushing the jab
Nice to know who’s looking out for your best interests
They also folded on Track Warrant Control that took railways in NZ back over 100 years
And has placed the public in unnecessary danger
Cheap and nasty
