i saw her in auckland at queens wharf with a huge hole cut in her side just back from the port bow not sure to this day what they were doing..would i guess of been early 90's....where is she now....also what ever happened to the new zealand carribean

[nzmatt]

both scrapped.new zealand carabbian,after blue star had her for a while,the rotoma she went to,far as i know,but someone will know for sure

Am 100% certain she was scrapped in mid 2005.
30 odd years for a vessel that is essentialy a big floating parking station is a credit to her froggy builders and subsequent owners.

yes i agree,i visted her once around 1995 and she was in a state then,hate to see what she was like when she got to the scrappers????she had some fires to scarey...hate to have the fire siren go off when i was in volunteer fire service,in lyttelton.

I think she went earlier than 2005 - will have to check. Her engines were one of the reasons for her withdrawal.
