A man was fatally injured on the deck of Sanford's San Granit at 4am yesterday - 55 nautical miles east of Banks Peninsula.
New Zealand Fishing Industry Guild executive secretary Ian Mathieson says investigations are progressing into what happened to a Sealord sea crewman lost overboard last month.
He says having two deaths within a few weeks is a shock to everyone, after several years since any similar accidents.
The Transport Accident Investigation Commission has opened an inquiry.
