This ship breaks down for 3rd time in less than a year

During its journey from Wellington to Napier on Saturday morning, a cargo ship encountered a power outage which resulted in the loss of power and drifting out of the main channel. The ship was eventually stopped by lowering two anchors. Upon its arrival at the dock in Wellington, two tugboats met the Singapore-registered ship.

The harbourmaster of the Wellington region mentioned that a technical issue had been reported with the ship in July of the previous year, which took a few days to fix. Since the ship’s arrival, Nalder has been monitoring the weather conditions and placed restrictions on the ship following the recent incident to ensure its safety.

Nalder's goal is to ensure that the ship leaves the harbor safely, while also being taken care of and brought back alongside in case of any issues that may arise. In February of this year, the ship also had a minor problem. Nalder has expressed his concerns about the ship to Maritime New Zealand, which is now inspecting the ship for the third time.

Although the ship has not had any problems in other ports of New Zealand, it is concerning that it has occurred again. Furthermore, the incident occurred at the same time as Interislander's Kaitaki ferry resumed passenger service after being idle for more than two months.

On January 28, the ship sent out a mayday after losing power in Cook Strait with 864 passengers on board. The ship resumed taking passengers for the first time in five weeks, but it was only able to do so for less than 24 hours until a gearbox problem was discovered on March 4. The gearbox repair was a challenging task and required technical support from the Netherlands and the delivery of a particular metal from Germany.

Two new mega-ferries are being constructed to replace the fleet of Interislander, which is becoming less reliable. These ferries will arrive in 2025 and 2026, respectively, from the Hyundai-Mipo Dockyard in South Korea.

The ship has been given restrictions and is being inspected by Maritime NZ. Until all power generators and the primary engine are operational and the vessel is deemed safe to sail, the ship cannot leave Wellington Harbour. These conditions will continue to be in place until the repairs are completed and Maritime NZ withdraws the notice. The ship has previously experienced two engine failures in New Zealand, one in July of the previous year and the other in February of this year.

Book we are reading this week and you must as a Seafarer

Excellent communicating skills have always been crucial to success in leadership and management roles like sailors—and that’s one of the reasons the first edition of this book, Mastering Communication at Work, has been an international bestseller taught at universities and referred to by leading CEOs. In the years since it was first published, it’s been the go-to “communication playbook,” helping leaders develop strategic responses and communication tactics with clear, actionable advice.

What’s changed in the last ten years? Well, nothing—and everything.

The fundamentals of effective communication are the same, as are many of the challenges leaders face, generation after generation. You still need to “match your listener’s tendency” and “validate,” and you still need to guard against “defensiveness.” What has changed is how some of the fundamentals and challenges are applied and met in today’s world—both real and virtual, in remote and on-site working environments.

Mastering Communication at Work, 2nd Edition features an essential new chapter on remote team communication along with additional content on equitable leadership and updated case studies. Throughout, you’ll find practical, hands-on advice and strategies that can help you reach your potential when preparing for big conversations and important presentations, help you reduce everyday stress and improve your organization’s performance at every level.
