SYDNEY, Nov 29 (Reuters) - A Royal New Zealand Navy vessel ran aground and sank off the coast of Samoa last month as a result of human error, a government-initiated inquiry found on Friday.
HMNZS Manawanui, the navy's specialist dive and hydrographic vessel, grounded on a reef on the southern side of Samoa, on Oct. 5 while conducting survey operations. All 75 crew members on board survived.
"The direct cause of the grounding has been determined as a series of human errors which meant the ship's autopilot was not disengaged when it should have been," the head of New Zealand's Navy Rear Admiral Gavin Golding said in a statement on Friday.
he crew did not realise the ship remained in autopilot and consequently thought its failure to respond to direction changes was the result of a thruster control failure.
The reasons why the crew failed to notice the error would be part of a wider inquiry expected to be completed in the first quarter of next year, Golding said.

Disciplinary process to commence
Golding said that because human error was identified as the cause, a separate disciplinary process would need to begin once the Court of Inquiry had concluded.
The process would look at the officer in control of the ship, the supervising officer on the bridge, and the commanding officer of the Manawanui. 
He said there were a number of other contributing factors leading to the grounding, which would be considered in more detail during phase two of the inquiry. These include training, planning, supervision, readiness, and risk assessment.
"To provide some immediate assurance, we have conducted a series of audits in the Fleet and looked to implement initial lessons identified from the interim report around training, risk management, and improving relevant orders, instructions and procedures," he said.
Speaking to media today, Defence Minister Judith Collins reacted to the report, saying: "I think we're all terribly disappointed by what happened and why it happened". 
============
The vessel's sinking raised concerns about damage to the local environment, with many worried that leaking fuel could taint their food source.
The ship was carrying around 950 tonnes of diesel, and earlier this month, local authorities said about 200,000 litres of fuel had leaked from the sunken wreckage.
Golding told media there was still a "persistent slow leak" coming from the Manawanui.
"We monitor it each day with our divers that are in place."
He said compensation for locals was a matter for the Samoan government but said the Defence Force was supporting Samoa in the process. [ 
not our problem abos]
================
"I want to reassure the public of New Zealand that we will learn from this situation and that it is on me, as the Chief of Navy, to earn back your trust.
"We have incredible people within our Defence Force who answer the call to serve every day. Much of their work is risky and involves decisions that can mean life or death. No one turns up to work to have a bad day.

ALSO, the Defense Minister (who's ALSO a DEI foid
) under question from the New Zealand press, said at least no lives were lost in the disaster due to the quick rescue efforts of the ship!
HOWEVER it appears this was mostly due to the quick somoan locals next to the shore which responded instantly to come and save this crew of clowns !!

After an interim report found the sinking of the HMNZS Manawanui was because of human error, Samoans say they are still looking for better answers on the environmental and economic costs of the disaster.
Details from the interim Court of Inquiry report concerning HMNZS Manawanui were released yesterday and found the ship grounded and sank off the coast of Samoa because of human error.
The Samoan community in Samoa and Aotearoa reacted strongly to the report.
People of Tafitoala, one of the villages in Safata, have already spoken about their livelihood being affected by the Manawanui disaster on October 5.

The second video is absolutely fantastic, but the first one made me measurably dumber. I hate self-righteous chuds like that who take 10 minutes to simply state the obvious, and repeat what we already knew.
