1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: A little bit of movement around our new fairies. Also

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: to report on this morning, Government and port operators have

3
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: agreed on the core infrastructure and the equipment needed now

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,399
Speaker 1: Pickton will have new warves, new link spans. Wellington will

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: modify the existing infrastructure the last thirty years. Chris McKenzie

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: is the chair of the Ferry Holdings Limited and as

7
00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,119
Speaker 1: well as Chris, morning to you.

8
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 2: Good morning.

9
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:18,479
Speaker 1: Is this all looking good?

10
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: It's looking positive at this point in time. Yes, there

11
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: will be some robust discussions going forward between the port's

12
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: key rail and Ferry Holdings Limited, but this is a

13
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,040
Speaker 2: reasonable sized infrastructure project, so it's to be expected.

14
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: Is there a big gap between what you want and

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: what you're getting?

16
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: No, No, What we are doing is the Cabinets mandated

17
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 2: us to get two fairies, two ports with appropriate nesting

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: structures and a rail operator who's running ferries in twenty

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: twenty nine. All of that comes together and hopefully it

20
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: will be an improvement on what we have at the moment.

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: And when you say hopefully, is that like fingers crossed?

22
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 1: Because from New zealand Inks point of view, how compromised

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 1: is this whole thing?

24
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Do you think it isn't compromised, and it's not We're

25
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 2: not worried about it. What we have to just think

26
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: about is it's an infrastructure project and you know New

27
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: Zealand's reputation on infrastructure projects deliveries. We will have everything

28
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: put in place. The signing that we have done with

00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 2: the ports and q Rail over the last couple of

30
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:37,199
Speaker 2: days has put us on a path to be successfully completed.

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: But there are always things that come up in infrastructure.

32
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:45,399
Speaker 2: But we are Touchwood confident that we will deliver in

33
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: twenty twenty nine to two ferries, two ports and a

34
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,160
