Timeline: The troubled Cook Strait ferries
Damage to the hulls of two vessels during the past week are the latest in a series of disruptions, delays and cancellations to Cook Strait ferries this year.
I didn't realise quite how bad of a year our ferries have had, this is just embarrassing.
You're viewing a single thread.
This seems like a key infrastructure issue to sort out. Didn’t realise that we don’t own our ferries!
From the article it sounds like Interislander is NZ owned (by kiwirail, a state owned enterprise) but Bluebridge is not NZ owned.
That makes sense. Kiwirail isn't exactly known for their competence
As Dave said, Interislander is owned by Kiwirail, and they own their boats, to the best of my knowledge. I didn't realise Bluebridge wasn't NZ owned any more.
Guess I had trouble parsing that sentence in the article. Makes sense.
