Martime New Zealand is investigating a digger fire aboard a cargo ship at the Port of Napier that resulted in six people suffering carbon monoxide poisoning.
More than five Fire Emergency New Zealand crews attended the blaze at 8pm on Monday night after workers were loading logs in the Nord Yilan's hold when a digger-lifter had a malfunction.
Maritime New Zealand would be conducting interviews, scene examination and would review documents to gather all the necessary information, a spokesman said.
"The information will then be assessed and a decision made as to what, if any, further action to take under Health and Safety at Work Act or the Maritime Transport Act.
"The investigation is likely to take a few weeks."
