The owners were having problems with Maritime New Zealand about the length of ANATOKI.
The problem was “resolved” by building a “new” bow inside the original bow, and the “new” bow was used for the tonnage length calculations, thereby falling below 50 metres.
To make sure that the “old” bow was not contributing any buoyancy, etc, they have had to drill holes in the “old” bow – as per this photograph taken last week..
