A search is underway in Wellington Harbour after a man has reportedly gone
overboard from an East by West ferry this morning.


A police spokesperson said in a statement: "Police are urgently seeking
information to assist in identifying this person who was on board the 6am
sailing from Queens Wharf to Days Bay.


"The person is believed to be a Pakeha male in his 40s."

Anyone with information was urged to call 105.

The East by West ferry travels between Wellington's Queens Wharf and Days Bay
near Eastbourne.


Deputy Harbour Master Patrick Atwood told Stuff that about a dozen boats and
a helicopter were involved in the search.


It wasn't noticed the person was missing until the ferry reached its
destination," he added.
