Booze a factor in MV Anatoki's grounding in 2010

A vessel ran aground near Golden Bay after an alcohol-affected and sleep deprived crew member stopped monitoring its course, an investigation has found. The Transport Accident Investigation Commission this morning said there was a "strong possibility" an experienced ship mate on board the M.V. Anatoki had fallen asleep before grounding the vessel off Rangihaeata Head on May 6, 2010. It said the mate had drunk "four to five" pints of beer in the hours before the vessel departed at midnight on May 6. He did not properly monitor the ship's course after being placed on watch at 4am and failed to realise the vessel was in trouble until at least 10 minutes after it had grounded, it said. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10801832
