Crane barge set to lift and recover fishing boat wreck in Kawau Bay
A barge crane will recover a fishing boat which sunk off Moturekareka Island in Kawau Bay. The boat was returning home when its skipper reported the vessel taking on water off Moturekareka Island, in Kawau Bay north of Auckland. The fishermen turned the vessel towards land to investigate but the boat sank before they could do any more. Auckland Harbour Master Andrew Hayton said a crane barge is on its way to the wreck and is expected to recover the vessel later today. “A wreck buoy was placed above the location of the sunken fishing vessel in Kawau Bay on Wednesday morning to mark its position to passing vessels so they can keep clear,” he said.
