South Port New Zealand is reporting an after-tax profit of $10.71 million for the financial year, a result that will see an increase in dividends for investors.
Zeaborn Ship Management spokesperson Andrew Leahy, who was acting on behalf of the ship’s owners, said the group were still waiting for confirmation to hear when the vessel could leave. In the meantime, health officials were checking on the crew daily and doing regular temperature checks, he said, while the ships existing Covid-19 outbreak management protocols were being followed to minimise the risk of further transmission. Health wise, the crew were faring well, he said, adding that their family had been notified about the situation and were being kept informed of any new developments. Two of the infected mariners were taken to Southland Hospital for assessment on Wednesday, but did not need to be admitted and were returned to the ship.
