A New Zealand court has fined a Tauranga-based stevedoring company over $150,000 after a 15-tonne excavator was dropped from a ship’s crane nearly killing five workers due to inadequate training. The incident happened at Northport deep-water in Whangarei, New Zealand when the log carrier, Aster K, was being loaded on 16 July 2017.
