Rena's media machine

A copy of Mike Wackett's editorial in shipping e-zine Containerisation International Online (15th November 2011) has been passed to the Antipodean Mariner, which praises Maritime New Zealand for its handling of the media during the salvage operation (http://www.ci-online.co.uk/)

Quotations in part from the online article state;

"Moreover, it has been so refreshing to experience the open and frankness of MNZ; regardless of issues with liability for the clean-up cost, they have pushed on with their job of protecting their beautiful coastline"

"Indeed, those responsible for MNZ's PR machine deserve congratulations; its 100 or so status updates should be a lesson to other media-shy companies how to communicate, and why it is in everybody's interests to do so: the problem won't go away it is always better to be transparent."



I'll leave readers who followed this blog's first person account of the salvage up until its untimely silencing to draw their own conclusions.
