Maritime safety veteran Angus Mitchell has been appointed as the next CEO of the ATSB (ATSB)
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has announced the appointment of 30-year maritime transport safety veteran Angus Mitchell as its new chief commissioner and chief executive.
The news comes after the recently announced retirement of current CEO Greg Hood, who stepped down from the role on 30 June at the end of his five-year term.
Mitchell joins the ATSB from Maritime Safety Queensland, where he spent the last 2.5 years as general manager, and was responsible for overseeing the safe and efficient movement of vessels into and out of Queensland’s 21 ports.

Unsecured locomotive hatch exceeded rolling stock outline prior to collision with train on adjacent track
The collision of a passenger train with the open hatch of an adjacent locomotive emphasises the need for appropriate risk controls to prevent hatches from opening during service, a safety investigation has concluded.
On the evening of 21 July 2020, a passenger train bound for Kiama collided with the air filter hatch of a stationary Pacific National NR locomotive near Loftus station, on Sydney Trains’ Illawarra line.
There were no injuries reported, but the guard’s windscreen and passenger doors on the lead carriage of the passenger train were damaged in the collision.
