Container ship adrift in Tauranga after engine failure
The port master of Tauranga recommended the evacuation of the salvage tug "Resolve Commander" and the nearby fishing vessel "Adelaide Star" on MAr 12, 2013, when the "Kota Lukis" lost power shortly after leaving the Sulphur Point wharf at 8.20 a.m. The tugs pulling the containership off the wharf slipped their lines when the "Kota Lukis"’ main engine failed which meant hydraulic steering was also lost, leaving the unpowered ship heading towards the Mount Maunganui wharf. Port of Tauranga tug masters and the port company pilot positioned themselves on either side of the ship’s bow to try and stop the fully loaden ship. A collision was prevented by the tug pilots turning the ship, which came within 40 metres of the wharf, and the pilot ordering the anchor to be dropped. The main engine was then able to be re-started and the "Kota Lukis" continued to an anchorage outside the port where the engine controls were inspected and data was taken by a Maritime New Zealand inspector. The "Kota Lukis" has since sailed for Port Kelang with an ETA of Mar 23. Report with video: http://www.sunlive.co.nz/news/40468-close-call-wayward-ship.html
