KEY POINTS:
A floating public loo will be launched in the Bay of Islands this year. Mounted on a barge, the sea-borne drop toilet with holding tanks is aimed at providing relief for visiting international yachties seeking to enter New Zealand through Opua.
The water-based comfort stop will be available for crews of incoming boats waiting for Customs and biosecurity clearance. More than 400 vessels cleared customs at Opua during the past 12 months.
