The Korean fishing vessel on which a crewman died yesterday has arrived back at Bluff.
The Indonesian crewman died yesterday when a trawl net was being pulled onboard.
Police and Maritime NZ met the boat when it arrived at Bluff about 3pm and have begun their investigation in to the death.
A post-mortem would be carried out tomorrow and they were liaising with the Indonesian embassy to contact the man's next of kin.
Police said they would be interviewing members of the ship's crew who witnessed the incident.
