might like to consider a similar vessel in future when considering tools to combat the constant stream of urban rubbish entering our waterways.
The fact that this vessel was delivered and handed over in Sydney a month early speaks for itself, reinforcing the ability of New Zealand companies to deliver on time and on budget. We also understand the Environmental Services Agency has responded with a very complimentary report on the delivery acceptance trials along with a glowing reference. This alone is no mean feat for any company in this current economic climate, especially one dealing with a very competitive Australia. The upshot is one more example of the "Kiwi can do and will" attitude of our small shipbuilding industry. Well done, team.
