Does anyone know what is happening with Coastal Bulk Shipping's Rangitata. She arrived in Auckland from Wellington on 18th November 2023 for annual survey. She had completed survey some time ago and been out to the Hauraki Gulf anchorages a couple of times for engine tests and compass adjustments etc. She has had several departure dates but these keep being put back. She was supposed to sail at midday today 2 April, but now it is "maybe" on the 15th April. I wouldn't have thought a small coastal shipping company could afford to have a vessel out of action fo so long.
