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.
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.
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

Guess I had trouble parsing that sentence in the article. Makes sense.
