I was one of the people on board Kaitaki when this happened, I'm a bit surprised it went as far as charges being laid though.

Oh I'm starting to remember now. Might have been nice for RNZ to link to previous articles so we remember what it's about. So many issues with the ferries, it's hard to keep track.

But yeah there's been quite a few similar problems previously

It's really great having all these breakdowns, because I'm going on a ferry on Monday and I'm looking forward to being stranded at sea 😆

This must have been a nightmare for anyone in the logistics industry.
