Quoting directly from local radio 1233ABC:
A report (by the NSW Maritime Authority) into the grounding of the Pasha Bulker bulk carrier in Newcastle in June has found it was caused by a combination of horrendous weather conditions and poor seamanship by the ship’s master.

Storms that weekend took nine lives and caused more than $1 billion in damage.

The report says the master failed to see the potential impact of the weather forecast and made the wrong decision to ride out the gale at anchor.

But New South Wales Ports Ministers Joe Tripodi has told Parliament there is not enough evidence to prosecute.

“While the report also finds that the standard of seamanship displayed by the master was poor, the investigators have also concluded it would be difficult to prove negligence beyond reasonable doubt, as required to achieve a conviction for the offence of negligent navigation,” he said.

“For this reason, the authority has decided not to prosecute the master of the Pasha Bulker.”
