I didn’t realise quite how bad of a year our ferries have had, this is just embarrassing.

    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.

      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.

    To be fair, a few of the ‘incidents’ listed are simple engineering issues, but yes, quite an eventful year!

      One of them was an “engineering issue” that almost turned into “running around in a storm”.
