There seems a lack of basic background information, like the limited free water around the wreck to allow simultaneous pumping and container removal, a seemingly minor detail that has left many people I have spoken to come up with some ridiculous conspiracy theories and outright ludicrous claims! Reality is sometimes so much more logical, smelly, and quite possibly boringly tedious!? ......keep up the good work on the Rena. .....it must be a job that’s several orders of magnitude bigger than we can possibly imagine.Tobihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00733249789973438791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-85068086183442305622011-11-12T20:49:25.393+11:002011-11-12T20:49:25.393+11:00Unfortunately the Helen Clark appointed Director o...Unfortunately the Helen Clark appointed Director of Marine Catherine Taylor has shown that she is out of her depth. There needs to be a Commission or Inquiry into her and her teams performance. That should start with why it took her so long to envoke Section 248 of the MTA and why her lawyers thought she might be liable if she used a law which was made to give the Director power. A big delay so the owners could run a dutch auction between potential salvors. Hw about the International Expert Dive Team being made to do a 1 day course at the Devoport Naval Base before they were allowed to work on the wreck. How ignorant and arrogant was that by MNZ. Plenty more to comeCaptainGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109532558762224175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-63304342723039403542011-11-12T09:29:08.224+11:002011-11-12T09:29:08.224+11:00You don't have to delete these posts do you?

It would make great reading and you could even self publish it on Amazon and make some money :)Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00804068366648770591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-2330411363491082622011-11-12T00:28:51.210+11:002011-11-12T00:28:51.210+11:00As a retired lawyer I think that it is high time t...As a retired lawyer I think that it is high time to revise the 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims. The limitation is much too low, as the Rena situation demonstrates.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16978909489233319073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5495501381449242270.post-37272332778511266382011-11-11T22:39:33.491+11:002011-11-11T22:39:33.491+11:00A sad day when the Powers that really shouldn'...A sad day when the Powers that really shouldn't BE use a financial contract as the means to gag someone. It rather indicates some sense of guilt or inadequacy by those imposing the gag. Do they think or suspect that they haven’t done a good job or are those higher up the tree afraid that their general ignorance of their responsibilities might get back to those that elected them? Lets hope that there is someone in MNZ who has some bottle. XmarinerXmarinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17841276900691624420noreply@blogger.com
