Fishing company Talley's Group Ltd has been ordered to pay nearly $95,000 in fines and reparations to the family of a crewman decapitated when a broken rope snapped back during a tuna haul.
Leighton Muir, 27, died in an accident aboard the M.J. Souza on August 24, 2014, while the vessel was fishing in the Kiribati Exclusive Economic Zone.
Talley's pleaded guilty to a charge laid by Maritime NZ of failing to take all practicable steps to ensure the safety of its employees while at work after it failed to replace the rope which decapitated Muir.
