What Crew Members Say About Meutia-Baruna

On May 15, 2013, the fishing vessel 'Commission' was seen approaching the port of Tauranga with apparent damage, following a suspected collision with the cargo ship 'Samjin' approximately 20 kilometers off East Cape on May 13, 2013, at around 3 a.m. Port authorities have initiated an investigation, which includes discussions with the skipper of the 'Commission' and a thorough examination of the vessel. Meanwhile, the 'Samjin', which had docked at Tauranga on May 13 at 11:15 p.m., has also been ordered to remain in port as investigations unfold. The decision to detain 'Samjin' was prompted by ship tracking systems that indicated its presence in the vicinity during the incident. The cargo ship, loaded with logs after departing from Port Chalmers in Dunedin, was initially scheduled to depart Tauranga at 3:30 p.m. but is now expected to set sail for Zhangzhou, China at around 10 p.m. today.
