Large ship forced to take second stab at Cut off Port Nelson
The 19.796-ton Pos Knight, a bulk carrier arriving from Timaru to unload fertiliser, was turned away by its pilot and did a loop before coming through the Cut on its second approach, berthing just before 1pm. There were high winds and rough seas at the time. Mr Lyttle, who photographed the manoeuvre, said the ship was "miles off the channel" and certainly "way less than a kilometre from the Boulder Bank". "It's quite amazing to see a vessel like that there." Harbourmaster Dave Duncan said winds were gusting at 25 to 30 knots at the time. "One of the tugs wasn't quite ready for the pilot, so he turned around to re-approach. He took quite a precautionary approach, and I have no issue with it." http://www.stuff.co.nz/nelson-mail/news/8140617/Large-ship-forced-to-take-second-stab-at-Cut
