Description

The Bluebridge ferry failure is costing one freighter big bucks, with the company calling for a better service across the State Highway One of the water. The Bluebridge ferry Connemara was towed back to Wellington's Pipitea Wharf early this morning, hours after losing power near Sinclair Head and drifting in the Cook Straight. It was on a freight sailing and had 88 people on board, including 24 passengers and 13 commercial drivers. Booth Logistics had four trucks on board the ferry last night and freights across the straight tens of times each week, CEO Dallas Vince spoke to Lisa Owen.
