Update to Shipping Agents / Lines
Further to our last customer update (4.30 pm today), following are the co-ordinates of the amended exclusion zone:
1 Rabbit Island (Motuotau) at Mount Maunganui in position 37° 37.8'S 176° 11.7'E to
2 37°28.5'S 176°20'E to
3 37°28.5'S 176°30'E to
4 37°38.6'S 176°30'E to
5 Coast at the Kaituna cut 37°44.8'S 176°24.6'E
The Harbourmaster advises that the exclusion zone was amended because the debris and containers coming from the grounded Rena cargo ship are currently contained, reducing the risk of injury or damage due to navigational safety hazards. Vessel operators are reminded to keep an active look-out for the response vessels assisting with the Rena situation, and to avoid disrupting the operations.
