BUSY BAY: The build-up of ships at anchor in Tūranganui-a-Kiwa Poverty Bay since before Easter has continued, with five log ships out there this morning, including these four. They are among a dozen scheduled to call here to the end of April, along with a freighter which will be taking on kiwifruit. The container ship Rangitata moored alongside Wharf 8 this morning after several days at anchor in the bay to offload empty containers and load containers full of meat for shipment to Napier.
