    When things go pear-shaped with roll-on/roll-off ferries things go pear-shaped very quickly. It looked like a bit of a dunger too, probably overloaded. Sad day.

    According to Nat Radio, well within load limits for both passengers and cargo. And recently recieved a marine survey by Maritime NZ, if I heard correctly

    Overseas at the moment so haven't seen the news but I do remember a similar sounding incident in the north sea - amsterdam I think - roro left port not quite closed in the back door and sank like a rock. 1970"s??
    They called it paradise, I don't know why.
    Call someplace paradise, kiss it goodbye.
