There’s little faith from some in the freight industry that new Cook Strait ferries will be delivered on time.
The Government's announced its intention to buy two new ferries for the Cook Strait crossing but is being criticised for refusing to reveal the cost.

He expects the March deadline to come and go, and says delays seem typical of this government.
