Fuel problem reason for Bluebridge losing power - harbourmaster

Checkpoint

A problem with fuel may be behind the Bluebridge ferry losing power in the Cook Strait last month, according to Wellington's harbourmaster. The Connemara blacked out after leaving Wellington and drifted for more than two hours off the south coast before being rescued by tug boats. The beleagured vessel has had even more problems since then - stopping it from sailing as recently as last night. Reporter Lauren Crimp spoke to Lisa Owen.
