If you haven't already guessed, this is the ship finally bringing the container (yes, the nice grey one) with the "Next Pitts" into Lyttleton, and as I write (about 2:30am Tuesday 23rd Nov) the "Sparkel" is doing about 20knots, and heading out of Auckland. Wow, .. this whole process (getting the "Next Pitts" ) has taken so long, and been such an endless series of dramas, that at this stage, it all seems a bit surreal. I guess that once the container makes it through all the paperwork, and is being opened up in Nelson, maybe it will turn out to be real, and not something happening somewhere else, like some news bulletin that you read, see or hear about. Watch this space!
Thanks Vincent for posting this vessel and your observation, she was my home for almost 12 months. She was an excellent vessel since her delivery on 30 Nov 2009 always on time for cargo operations due to the effective arrangement of MOL NZ- Capt Elpidio Henry T. Fetiza- Master of MOL Saprkle 29 Jan 2010 to 18 Jan 2011.
