The 24m Australian-flagged fishing vessel, Leila Jo, and Liberian-registered 180m bulk carrier, Rose Harmony, collided about midnight on January 12 off the coast of Lyttelton. "It's our understanding that the bulk carrier - the Rose Harmony, was departing Lyttelton for Dunedin and Leila Jo - the fishing trawler, was returning to Lyttelton where it was based."

The Rose Harmony cargo ship was built in 2018 as a bulk carrier.
