Pressure is mounting on Cook Strait ferry services after yet another problem.

An engineering issue has forced the Interislander's Kaitaki out of action —again— only one day after it had the all-clear to sail again.

The ferry hasn't been able to take passengers from the end of January when it lost power and had to make a mayday call.

Jon Reeves from the Public Transport Users' Association told Mike Hosking that it's time for an independent inquiry into the state of the ferries.

He says it jeopardises supply chains, tourism, and the average person when it doesn't work.
