Walter Rushbrook: Interislander Executive General Manager says they're doing all they can to get Kaitaki back on the sea - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

No clear date for when the Interislander's Kaitaki will be back on the sea, after being out of order since March 6.

Interislander passengers with trips planned in early April have been told their sailing is off.

It'll be at least April 10 before the Kaitaki's crossing Cook Strait again.

Executive General Manager Walter Rushbrook says meanwhile, they're doing all they can.

That includes adding some Easter weekend sailings.

"We're looking to make sure that we provide certainty that they know the status of their booking, and get across Cook Strait as soon as possible. And as soon as we know when Kaitaki's going to be back in service, we'll open up our booking system fully again."
