Introduction

Reporting requirements in VictoriaVictoria’s marine operators are required to report certain types of marine incidents to Victoria Water Police under the Marine Safety Act 2010 (Vic) (MSA).

Under section 173(1)(i) of the Transport Integration Act 2010 (Vic) one of the functions of the Director, Transport Safety, is to ‘collect information and data about, and commission and sponsor research into, transport safety matters’. Transport Safety Victoria (TSV) uses the data it collects from marine operators to monitor trends and safety risks in the marine environment across Victoria, and identify regulatory interventions accordingly.

Under sections 88 and 89 of the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012 (National Law) the owner or master of a domestic commercial vessel or regulated Australian vessel, other than a vessel that is a customs vessel, that is involved in an reportable incident must report, in writing and without delay, the full particulars of the incident to the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), the national regulator, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Although not a specific requirement of this legislation, recreational incidents involving a request to Victoria Water Police for search and rescue assistance are reported to TSV by Victoria Water Police through the Marine Safety System.

Explanatory notes

Changes to data collectedThis report is published quarterly. Data is adjusted to reflect new information that comes to light during the reporting period.

Marine incident definitionThe National Marine Safety Data Collection Reference Manual: Data Standards and Definitions for Marine Incidents 18 December 2007 (Reference Manual), defines a marine incident as an event causing or involving any of the following in connection with the operation of a vessel:

1. the death of, or injury to, any person on board a vessel, or caused by a vessel2. the loss of a person from a vessel3. the abandonment, loss or presumed loss of a vessel4. the collision of a vessel with another vessel or with an object5. the grounding, sinking, flooding or capsizing of a vessel6. a fire or explosion aboard a vessel7. loss of stability affecting the safety of a vessel8. structural failure of a vessel.

Data definitionsIncident data has been codified in accordance with the Reference Manual. For convenience, an extract of the incident type descriptors is included in this document. For further


explanation of the concepts, data standards and definitions please read this report in conjunction with the Reference Manual.Table 1 provides a description of the different types of marine incidents that may be reported to TSV.

Table 1: Marine incident data definitionsType DescriptionCollision A marine incident involving the collision of an operating vessel may

include any of the following instances:a) Collision of vessels

Striking together of two or more vessels, at least one vessel must be in operation or operating; but does not include striking a permanently fixed man-made object.

b) Collision with a fixed objectA vessel striking a permanently fixed man-made object, for example: aid to navigation, overhead bridge, sea walls, or groynes; and does not include striking another vessel.

c) Collision with a floating objectA vessel striking an object that is waterborne and is free to move with tide, current or wind and is visible from the surface of the water; does not include living animals but does include carcasses and does not include striking another vessel.

d) Collision with an animalVessel striking a living animal which may or may not be normally found in a marine environment.

e) Collision with overhead obstructionAny part of a vessel making contact with power lines, or other overhead obstructions suspended above a waterway.

f) Collision with submerged objectA vessel making contact with an object that is waterborne and may be free to move with tide or current and is not visible from the surface of the water e.g.: submerged container, submarine cable. This category does not include groundings.

g) Collision with wharfA vessel making contact with a wharf/jetty/pontoon/boat ramp and causing damage to the vessel and/or wharf etc.

Grounding A marine incident involving an operating vessel grounding may include any of the following instances:

a) Grounding (unintentional)When a vessel unintentionally comes into contact with the bottom of a waterway so that the vessel ceases to be completely waterborne. This includes a vessel, either under command or not under command, running aground, striking or pounding on rocks, reefs or shoals, but not making contact with a beach or grounding intentionally.

b) Grounding (intentional)A vessel, under command, is put aground intentionally by the operator. An intentional grounding of a vessel is not a reportable marine incident unless the vessel is damaged in some way that makes the incident reportable.

Capsizing Vessel overturns so that the keel becomes uppermost or the vessel may lie on its side.

Sinking A vessel becomes submerged and settles below the surface of the water.Swamping A vessel fills with water particularly over the side (that is, water is filling


Type Descriptionfrom the upper part of the vessel) but retains sufficient buoyancy to remain waterborne. If the vessel does not retain sufficient buoyancy to remain waterborne, the incident type becomes a sinking.

Flooding A breach of the vessel’s watertight integrity (that is, water filling from the lowest part of the vessel) due to the ingress of water into the vessel. The vessel retains sufficient buoyancy to remain waterborne. If the vessel does not retain sufficient buoyancy to remain waterborne, the incident type becomes a sinking.

Loss or presumed loss of a vessel

A vessel has not returned as stated or intended prior to departure and may be considered to be missing at sea.

Structural failure Damage to a vessel due to the structural failure of the vessel’s hull, superstructure, engines, machinery or equipment due to such things as metal fatigue, corrosion, broken welds, wood rot, electrical faults, insufficient materials in the construction of the vessel and excessive stress or wear on any component. Examples include dismasting of sailing vessels due to the mast being broken. Does not include flooding or sinking due to a breach of the hull.

Loss of stability The inadvertent movement of cargo, equipment or other materials which affects the vessel’s ability to return to an upright position when laterally displaced but does not include loss of stability due to swamping or flooding.

Fire Accidental burning of a vessel’s fuels or their vapours or of any material onboard a vessel.

Explosion Accidental explosion of any material onboard a vessel including vessel fuel or its vapours.

Person overboard

A person falls from a vessel into the water/sea/waterway.

Onboard injury A marine incident involving an operating vessel where the incident occurs onboard the vessel may include any of the following instances:

a) Falls within vesselPerson onboard a vessel falls within the confines of the vessel.

b) Crushing or pinchingAn incident where a person is crushed or pinched by any part of the vessel or vessel’s machinery because of the operation of the vessel.

c) Other onboard injuryAny other incident onboard a vessel (for example, passenger, crew) due to the operation of the vessel; does not include a fall overboard, falls within vessel, or crushing or pinching.

Other personal injury

A marine incident involving an operating vessel may include any of the following instances:

a) Hit by vessel or propellerPerson not onboard a vessel is hit by a vessel or vessel’s propeller, this does not include a fall overboard, skiing or diving incident.

b) Skiing incidentAn incident when a person is engaged in waterskiing. Waterskiing includes aquaplaning, knee boarding, wake surfing and any similar towed activity carried out in association with a vessel.

c) Parasailing incidentAn incident where a person is engaged in parasailing. Parasailing is an activity utilising a parachute towed by a vessel to enable a


Type Descriptionperson to become airborne.

d) Diving incidentAn incident involving an operating vessel and a person engaged in a diving related activity. For the purposes of this document, a diving activity includes diving using surface-supplied breathing apparatus, SCUBA diving, breath-hold diving (also known as free diving or skin diving) and snorkelling.

e) Other incidents caused by an operating vesselAny other incident involving a person not onboard a vessel (for example, swimmer, surfboard rider) due to the operation of a vessel; does not include a fall overboard, falls within vessel, crushing or pinching, hit by a vessel or propeller, skiing or diving incident.

Additional incident data definitionsTSV collects data regarding three additional ‘near miss’ incident types that do not comply with the definition of a marine incident in the Reference Manual but are useful indicators of risk and decision making. The definition of a close quarters situation is the working definition used by TSV and is now included in both the MSA and National Law legislation. The definition of a disablement and person in trouble is a working definition only. Table 2 provides a description of these additional incident types. Table 3 provides the definition for a recreational and commercial vessel, both terms are frequently used throughout the report.

Table 2: Additional incident data definitionsType DescriptionClose quarters situation

a) at least two vessels pass within proximity of each other such that a reasonable person would in all the circumstances conclude there was a risk of collision by those vessels

b) one vessel passes within proximity of an object such that a reasonable person would in all the circumstances conclude there was a risk of collision by that vessel with that object.

Disablement A vessel becoming disabled and requiring assistance.Person in trouble

Person(s) who require assistance because they cannot continue in their vessel unassisted.

Table 3: Other definitionsVessel type DescriptionRecreational vessel*

A vessel used solely for the purposes of recreational or sporting activities and not for hire or reward.

Commercial vessel *

Any vessel that is operated in connection with a commercial transaction of any kind; includes both domestic and foreign vessels.

Serious Incidents

Any incidents that conform to the definition of a marine incident in the Reference Manual including: capsizing, close quarters, collision, fire, flooding, grounding, loss of stability, onboard incident, other personal injury, person overboard, sinking, structural failure, swamping and person in trouble.

* For a complete definition please refer to the Reference Manual.


Maritime fatalities and serious injuries

FatalitiesTable 4 contains data on fatalities that have occurred as a result of marine incidents in Victoria. It shows the number of fatalities that occurred in each month of each year since 1 July 2013. The last column shows the total for each boating season. The current year total captures fatal incidents that have occurred up to 31 December 2016.

Figure 1 shows the number of fatalities that have occurred in the period July to December in each of the years shown. When comparing this stage of the season with the average of the three previous seasons, fatal incidents have decreased by 14.29 percent. Three of the four fatalities this season have involved kayaks compared with none out of three over the same period (July to December) in 2013-14, two out of four in 2014-15 and two out of seven in 2015-16. The four fatalities so far this season have involved males, ranging in ages from 36 to 70. Three of the four men failed to alert anyone that they needed assistance, authorities were alerted to the incident by:

vessel and/or deceased found,

family member (the owner was overdue), or

witness sighting.

Further information 17 October 2016, a 62 year old male kayaker was reported missing from Ventnor

Beach on Phillip Island. Victoria Police coordinated a search of the area and the male’s kayak was located on the beach at Red Rock Point which is approximately half a nautical mile north west of Ventnor beach. The man’s body has not been recovered.

5 November 2016, two males departed from Point Roadknight in their kayaks with the intention to paddle to Fisherman’s beach, Torquay. A 46 year old male became separated from his kayak and requested assistance. Water Police coordinated a search and a short time later the Police Air wing located the male in the water unresponsive. Paramedics attempted to revive the male however they were unsuccessful. The male was wearing a life jacket.

9 November 2016, a 70 year old male was located deceased near his 4.4m aluminium open type boat off Maggie Shoal in Westernport. The male appears to


have fallen overboard and may have been unable to get back on board his vessel. The male was wearing an inflatable lifejacket which had been activated.

20 December 2016, a 36 year old male fell from his kayak while paddling on Lake Eildon. Witnesses lost sight of the male for approx. 20 minutes, however the kayak and PFD were located on shore at Point Tehan with no sign of the male. The man’s body has not been recovered.


Serious injuriesTable 5 contains data on marine incidents that have resulted in serious injury in Victoria. It shows the number of incidents that occurred in each month of each year since 1 July 2013. The last column shows the total for each boating season. The current year total captures serious injury incidents that have occurred up to 31 December 2016.

Figure 1 shows the number of serious injury incidents that have occurred in the period July to December in each of the years shown. The number of serious injury incidents that have occurred this season align with the average of the three preceding seasons. The serious injury incidents this season have involved two commercial vessels and seven recreational vessels. The vessel types represented in the incidents this season include: four open type vessels (two in the 0 to 4.8 metre range and two in the 4.8 to 8 metre range), two kayaks and one half cabin (5 metres long).

Of those persons who were injured, two were females and eight were male. The ten people sustaining serious injuries this season ranged in age from 20 to 80, and the average age of those injured was 55.

Further information 3 July 2016, a female passenger on a commercial seal and dolphin watch tour

suffered a back injury in the choppy conditions. The vessel operator returned to Rhyll, the female passenger was conveyed to hospital and underwent surgery.

11 September 2016, Torquay Marine Rescue was providing water safety and filming platform for a TV commercial approximately 1.5 kilometres off Jarosite Break. At approximately 16.30 the vessel capsized ejecting all five persons on board. The skipper (a 69 year old male) sustained a head laceration resulting in him being conveyed to hospital by ambulance. All persons were wearing life jackets.

2 October 2016, a 40 year old male on a sea kayak was injured while clinging to a pylon at Oliver’s Hill jetty. He was able to make his own way to shore but was transported to hospital.

16 October 2016, four males were rescued after their 3.7 m aluminium open type boat capsized around 03.00 near Jam Jerrup Point on Westernport. One of the males managed to call 000 on his mobile phone while clinging to the upturned hull. Police Air wing located the four males and a Volunteer Marine Rescue vessel pulled the men from the water and conveyed them to nearby Corinella where the men were taken to hospital by ambulance suffering from hypothermia. The males were not wearing life jackets.


30 October 2016, two males were paddling surf skis from Torquay to Barwon Heads. One of the males fell off his ski and his companion went to shore to raise alarm. Fortunately a kite boarder in the area noticed the male in distress and provided assistance by dragging the male to shore using his kite. The male was taken to Geelong Hospital in an advanced hypothermic state.

5 November 2016, a 3.6m vessel operating on Tamboon Inlet with two people on board has collided with an unknown object in the river. The vessel capsized and both occupants were ejected. The operator sustained a large gash to his head and the passenger sustained cheek and back injuries. Both were conveyed to Bairnsdale Hospital by ambulance.

9 November 2016, on a tour from Cowes Jetty to seal rocks, a 80 year old female dislocated her hip. It is understood that the woman moved slightly sideways in her seat with the lap belt secure and the force of the vessel travelling over the moderate swell was enough to dislocate her hip.

4 December 2016, a 5 metre vessel with one 52 year old male on board capsized at the entrance to the Barwon River and the man injured his head and back.

27 December 2016, 20 year old male wake boarder injured himself when he fell from his board on Lake Eildon.

Marine incidents - recreationalThe column graph in Figure 2 shows the number of recreational marine incidents that occurred in the July to December period from 2013-14 to 2016-17. Table 3 provides a definition of a recreational incident. Recreational marine incidents have decreased by 13.72 per cent compared with the average of the three preceding seasons.

All incident types with the exception of person in trouble incidents are below average compared with the average of the three preceding seasons. The number of incidents by incident type and year is listed in Table 6. Person in trouble incidents have increased 34.71 per cent compared with the average of the three preceding seasons. Of the person in trouble incidents, 53.84 per cent (n=13) involved kayaks or canoes, 11.5 per cent involved kites (n=3) and 11.5 per cent involved rafts (n=3) (stand up paddle boards are captured as a raft in the Marine Safety System).

Figure 3 shows incidents by month and incident type. It demonstrates that so far this season the most number of disablements (n=173) and serious incidents (n=35) have occurred in December. It was interesting to note that the highest proportion of serious incidents was August and the lowest proportion of serious incidents was in July. Please refer to table 2 and 3 respectively for the definition of a disablement and serious incident.

Recreational disablements by vessel typeThe pie-chart in Figure 6 shows the proportion of recreational disablements by vessel type for the current reporting period (1 July 2016 to 31 December 2016). As seen in the previous three seasons, over 90 per cent of vessel disablements occur in open type vessels, cabin cruisers and half cabin vessels. Although half cabin vessel types represent just 14.99 per cent of the total vessels registered in Victoria they represent most (45 per cent of all recreational disablements.
