Master Convicted Over Passenger Death Maritime Activity Reports, Inc. © Peter Kosztolicz / MarineTraffic.com The master of a Sydney Harbor passenger vessel has pleaded guilty and been convicted of one count of unreasonably placing the safety of another person at risk in the Downing Centre Local Court on Monday, 22 February 2021. On behalf of the Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA), the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions laid charges against Paul Arthur Titze, master of the Lady Rose, for failing to comply with his general safety duties under the Marine Safety (Domestic Commercial Vessel) National Law Act 2012. AMSA investigated the operation of the vessel following an incident in February 2019 involving a 39-year-old woman who was found dead in a bathroom on Lady Rose during a cruise. A report from the Office of Transport Safety Investigations later found it was likely the woman was overcome by a harmful gas called hydrogen sulphide, found in sewage systems.
