Aground off Whenua Hou

November 15, 2025 | Grounding

On the morning of November 14, a fishing vessel (name not disclosed) ran aground in the Tasman Sea off Codfish Island (Whenua Hou), New Zealand. The New Zealand Coastguard reports that volunteers and local fishermen had been dispatched to assist.

Arriving on site, the rescuers found a commercial tow was required. Using another fishing vessel, they were able to pull the stranded fishing vessel free on the high tide. The vessel had sustained some damage from the grounding and dewatering pumps were placed onboard.

While towing the fishing vessel to the port of Bluff, weather conditions began to worsen. The damaged fishing vessel began to take on more water than the pumps could handle. The vessels proceeded to Long Harry Bay for shelter. The vessels remained in the bay for several hours until an additional pump arrived. Reports state the vessels proceeded on to Bluff.  No reports of injuries.
