The following statement can be attributed to CentrePort's Chief Executive, Anthony Delaney.
CentrePort has been advised of a fatal incident at Wellington's port this morning involving a worker for an independent stevedore.
This is a tragic incident, and our thoughts and priority need to be with supporting the family of the worker as well as his colleagues and the independent stevedore, along with the CentrePort personnel that were part of the initial response.
As this is now a response to an incident, we are supporting the independent stevedore, Police and Maritime NZ as the safety regulator and are unable make any specific comment about the circumstances of the incident.
