Goff also called for the 'dysfunctional' relationship of the Maritime Union and Port management to be addressed, as it was barrier to making progress.

"The relationship between the Maritime Union of New Zealand (MUNZ) and Ports of Auckland has been a barrier to improving safety," he said.

A port health and safety sub-committee will meet and submit reports regularly to Auckland Council over progress.
