On August 31, the 81 meter long, 2600 dwt fishing vessel Tokatu (IMO: 9816153)  became disabled in a storm on the Tasman Sea off Burnie, Tasmania. The Tokatu had suffered breakdown in the engine control resulting in the loss of maneuverability. The vessel requested assistance with two tugs from Burnie responding. The two tugs arrived on scene a few hours later and was able to get a towline over to the Tokatu. No reports of injuries to the 45 people on the vessel, damage or pollution released.
