The two crew on board were pulled from the water and later taken to hospital for treatment for hypothermia. Initial reports state there was little pollution released, but a sheen of diesel fuel was spotted around the wreck. Divers were dispatched to inspect the fuel tanks and prevent any fuel from being released.

The Maritime NZ has launched an investigation into the incident.
