RCCNZ Mission Coordinator Shailesh Raj says the rescue is straightforward as the fisherman is in a stable condition, the weather in the area is calm, and the vessel is reasonably close to land.
The commercial fishing vessel’s name is Paerangi, owned by Sealord.
Further information about the injured fisherman is not available at this time.
As with all maritime accidents, Maritime New Zealand will be investigating.
