The owners were having problems with Maritime New Zealand about the length of ANATOKI.
Â
The problem was “resolved” by building a “new” bow inside the original bow, and the “new” bow was used for the tonnage length calculations, thereby falling below 50 metres.Â
Â
To make sure that the “old” bow was not contributing any buoyancy, etc, they have had to drill holes in the “old” bow – as per this photograph taken last week..
