Sealant defect caused oil spill from engine
An oil spill spill happened after a sealant defect on an oil cooler in the starboard engine of the HMNZS 'Te Kaha' on March 8, 20926. The Royal New Zealand Navy worked alongside the Akaroa harbourmaster to clean up any oil after 300 litres of lubrication oil spilled into the Akaroa Harbour.. Immediate steps were taken to clean up the oil after the spill was discovered in the morning. The source of the leak was quickly isolated and contained with no further leakage reported. Crews on RHIBs have worked with the Harbourmaster using anti-pollution absorbent pads and booms to contain the spill and clean it up. All visible oil around the ship has now been cleaned up, although tidal movement may have spread some of it. Environment Canterbury and the harbour authorities were satisfied with the level of clean-up, and therefore, the HMNZS 'Te Kaha' was released from the area on the afternoon of March 9. The Defence Force provided assistance to the Akaroa Harbourmaster and Environment Canterbury to minimise the impact of the leak. An investigation into the exact cause of the oil cooler failure was conducted by a technical team.
