1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Here the dupless out so keep Rail is still not

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: saying exactly why the outer teddy crashed into a drawbridge

3
00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 1: in Wellington Harbor yesterday. They tried to blame the wind

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 1: and then we found out there was absolutely no wind

5
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: in the city at the time. So what is it?

6
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Troy Stayed is a maritime lawyer acting for some of

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:19,360
Speaker 1: the crew on board and with us. Hate Troy, how

8
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: are you? I'm very well, thank you? So what happened

9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 1: this time?

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: So well? I mean that's it's been a little over

11
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 2: twenty four hours, so we've only just ourselves really gotten

12
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:33,040
Speaker 2: engaged with the matter. It's I know, that's an answer

13
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 2: you guys hate to hear that it is. It's under

14
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 2: an active investigation. So we're still trying to have you

15
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,319
Speaker 2: not spoken to the correct I've spoken to one of them.

16
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: Is it the one who was steering the boat?

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,200
Speaker 2: He was involved in the in the deck EPs.

18
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: What did happened?

19
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: Just a series of factors with the wind being a

20
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: driver seems to be what when the likely one?

21
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: But I mean, t are you in Wellington?

22
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: I'm not in Wellington, but esterday see looking at the

23
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,920
Speaker 2: met Service for yesterday, looks like gusts of up to

24
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 2: seventy two kph about three pm yesterday, So that where

25
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: is that? Kelburn? I believe Kelburn?

26
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: Okay, because we've had like honestly, Troy yesterday, we had

27
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: texts from everybody, including speaking to a city council. It

28
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 1: was like, no, there's no windo out there, eight miles

29
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 1: per hour, like nothing. It was still the harbor was glassy.

30
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: Where does Surely if there's a wind that's big enough,

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: like a gust that's big enough to push a ship

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,400
Speaker 1: into a drawbridge, it's got to be a biggish one,

33
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: doesn't it.

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean again, that's that's the fact that we're investigating.

35
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 2: I would just say, you know, a vessel of that size,

36
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 2: if it does get hit by a by wind, you

37
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: know alongside broadside, that the effect of that will be

38
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: increased significantly, Okay, as with a sale. But I just

39
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 2: also like to point out, you know, it's a relief

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: that no one was injured. I understand the passengers were

41
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: able to leave the vessel about an hour after the event,

42
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 2: so it's you know, it's it's a great relief to

43
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: everyone involved that it wasn't as bad as perhaps it

44
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: may have otherwise have been.

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: So, Troy, how are the crew feeling about this, because, yeah,

46
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: their reputations don't don't feel awesome at the moment.

47
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, obviously we're acting for the crew,

48
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,840
Speaker 2: so their their interests are first and foremost in our minds.

49
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 2: There are concerns speaking with the crew, there are concerns

50
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: just generally about how how things have gone over the

51
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: last couple of months. I mean, it's you know, I

52
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: will allow you to to draw whatever inferences you like

53
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 2: from that, but at the the interests of the crew was.

54
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,399
Speaker 1: The same crew who were on board when they drove

55
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: it into the beach.

56
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: I'm still getting getting a full crew list there, but

57
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: I believe not.

58
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: Oh so the guy that you spoke to about this incident,

59
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,200
Speaker 1: was he on it last time?

60
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: I don't believe so.

61
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: Okay, Well, thank god, Although on the that's on on

62
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: the bad side, it does mean that we have lots

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,280
Speaker 1: of crew who are doing this rather than just a few.

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,839
Speaker 2: Well, as I said, the investigations ongoing, so it's it's

65
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: a little soon for us to jump to conclusions as

66
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 2: to CREWE involvement in the event. But hopefully, you know,

67
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 2: as the investigation got carries on and more facts come

68
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: to light, we'll get into the Troy.

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 1: Obviously crew were right, the boat was under manual steering.

70
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: Right, that that is true. You know, obviously at that

71
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: point there was a hand steering issue.

72
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: So it's an entirely scenario that who was holding on

73
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: to it, he was steering, just drove it into the drawbadge.

74
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 2: Again, it's too too soon to come to that conclusion,

75
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 2: but I suspect that there are a number of external

76
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 2: factors of player as well.

77
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: Like one which will don't say wind, what else?

78
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: Weather? Oh?

79
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: Stop it, okay, Troy freezes. All right, Troy, thank you

80
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: very much. Troy staid, maritime lawyer. There wasn't any wind,

81
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: but we thought there was because it's Wellington, right, so

82
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: we bought that for a minute. For more from Hither
