Interislander ferry Aratere has broken down near the entrance to the Tory Channel.
The 3:45pm sailing from Wellington to Picton lost power and was reportedly adrift.
Crew eventually restarted engines and the ferry instead took the northern route through Queen Charlotte Sound.
Wellington harbourmaster Grant Nalder said he was aware of the ship’s engines failing but that he had yet to hear more information.
More to come..
