Collision during port day
The "Toia" being packed with pleasure seekers collided with the cruise liner "Queen Elizabeth" during the CentrePort's open day on Feb 23, 2013, at 3 ß.m. CentrePort has launched an internal investigation and notified Maritime NZ of the incident. Nobody was injured in the incident, but the "Toia" was filled to capacity with 50 people on board. It happened as the tug was passing the port side of the "Queen Elizabeth". The tug's funnel hit the cruise liner's docking platform, which was about 12 metres above the water line. Debris showered the tug's passengers when the collision happened. Passengers screamed as rusted metal from the funnel rained down. The impact damaged the funnel, but the tug remained in service. CentrePort has begun an internal investigation and notified Maritime NZ of the accident.
