The Government has set a deadline for the new Interisland ferries. 

Two new ferries are due to arrive in 2029, and the wharf currently home to the Aratere ferry is set to be demolished within a year to make room for infrastructure that can support the new ships. 

Ferry Holdings Ltd has initiated discussions with KiwiRail and the Port of Marlborough to understand the infrastructure required to meet the deadline.  

Chair Chris Mackenzie joined Kerre Woodham to delve into what is being planned for the ports.
