Medevac off Canterbury, NZ
On Jan 8, 2020, a sick crew member has been plucked off the bow of the 'Independent' 80 miles off the coast of Canterbury in the South Pacific Ocean after suffering from a medical condition. He was winched off the vessel by a Westpac Rescue Helicopter crew which made the hour-long flight to the ship. The fisherman was now recovering in hospital.

Damaged cables caused fire
Damaged electrical cabling caused the fire on the "Desert Rose" at Lyttelton Port of Christchurch in the early morning of Apr 18. It was initially believed the fire was caused by sparks from a grinder or a welder, but it was found out that welding was only a contributing factor. The previous days some damage at the wiring has occurred, and using the faulty circuit caused a fire. All staff were discharged from hospital on Apr 18.
