Ferry got permission to head to breakers
The 'Vega' has been granted permission to sail to India for scrapping, six months after being sold by KiwiRail. The former 'Aratere' has been at anchor in Tasman Bay since December 2025, awaiting approval to enter India where it will be dismantled. The company that owns the 'Vega', the Jahaj Solutions FZE, said in the last two months, it had organised for around 10 crew members to return home, while the rest had been happy to remain on board. Maritime NZ investigators spoke to all crew members while the ship was in Port Nelson in April and did not have any concerns about their contracts or welfare. The 'Vega' was flagged to Basseterre, Saint Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean, which means New Zealand's wage and labour laws did not apply to the crew onboard. The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) confirmed the ship, which needed a permit to leave New Zealand because it was deemed hazardous waste, has been granted an export permit. It had recently received information from an authority in India that meant the export permit could be completed. The permit was for the whole ship and was valid until May 2027. The Jahaj Solutions FZE confirmed the plans for the ship to depart for India at the end of the month. The CentrePort shipping schedule showeds the 'Vega' was due to arrive in Wellington on May 28 and depart on May 31.
