The Mari­time Uni­on says that it has had enough of cow­boy tac­tics on the Cook Strait after fur­ther rev­el­a­tions of anoth­er poten­tial ferry
ground­ing that was nar­rowly avoided.

The Uni­on is con­cerned about reports the ferry ‘Santa Regina’ was on auto pilot in the Tory Chan­nel on June 9 in breach of Mari­time Safety Author­ity rules.
