Aratere is being parked up next month, one less ferry, that will mean they can take all the motorcycle tie dows off here and spread them around their other ships.....
as it's the only rail ferry expect more trucks on the road too

Came back from the SI yesterday. Kaitaki.It was the emptiest sailing I have ever seen. The seating area by the cafe on deck 7 had only 3 groups of people.
The very foward seating area had only about 20 people. They had several drills on the journey. The messagges on The PA regarding said drill were ear splitting. At one point i think we would have been doing 5 knots or so and a Bluebride ferry over took us.

why do these tests need to be earspiltting? We live in a period where they could have a ramped up noise, not full volume straight off, or not full volume at all, same goes for building fire alarms especially old folks homes, they nearly frighten an inmate to death each time they test.....

Build a bridge and join the 20th century for fucks sake.

Sorry not an option on the poll. Just annexe the north island then.

Because there’s always going to be the chance someone won’t return it back to full afterwards and purpose drill is to know which places you can’t hear alarm etc.
With modern electronics you could conduct a completely silent full test but who’s going to pay for the upgrade then sign off and pay for the certification etc.

I wonder how well equipped we are in NZ to deal with fire on ferry with the rise of EVs and home made campervan conversions. In this disaster the crew didn’t even deluge right deck due to confusing labelling on controls!BTW this channel has done great with these vids even though it covers some disasters others already had.

still not hard to have it ramping up over a few short seconds, even my alarm clock does that.
