A Bluebridge crew member has sustained a broken wrist after an incident involving a truck on the main deck of the MV Straitsman ferry in Wellington.

Police were called to Waterloo Quay at 7:30am.

Maritime New Zealand said the incident occurred on the main vehicle deck of the MV Straitsman ferry, operated by Bluebridge.

The crew member was hit by a unit reversing on one of its ferries this morning, and had since been released from hospital after treatment, Bluebridge spokesperson Will Dady said.

The man is now recovering at home and the company is doing what it can to support him.

Dady says Bluebridge is working with authorities to establish what happened.

Police and Maritime New Zealand inquiries are ongoing.
