The search for the missing man who jumped off a cruise ship near Mahia Peninsula is being postponed.
CCTV footage has shown the 62-year-old Australian jumping overboard from the Norwegian Jewel, around seven o'clock last night.
Maritime New Zealand spokesperson Vince Cholewa says aircraft and vessels have stopped searching the area.
