Senator Abetz
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, upon notice, on 23 December 2008:
(1) Was any complaint made to or any investigation initiated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) in relation to the sinking of the Cap Favel off the West Coast of Tasmania earlier in 2008.
(2) Is there any intention by the ATSB to investigate the sinking of this vessel in the future.
Senator Conroy (Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy)
—The Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:
(1) The ATSB was notified by the Australian Maritime Safety Authority of the sinking of the 43 metre steel fishing trawler, Kap Farvel, approximately 160 miles off the west coast of Tasmania on 16 November 2008. Information provided to the ATSB indicated that the vessel was unmanned and under tow to India, where it was to be scrapped, when it foundered in heavy weather. The circumstances of the incident were assessed by officers of the ATSB and a decision was made not to investigate the matter further.
(2) No.
