New Zealand will launch a new 78-meter supply vessel to Chatham Islands by late 2027, replacing the aging Southern Tiare.
The New Zealand government has confirmed that a new 78-meter supply vessel, to be built by McCallum Bros Ltd and Nova Marine Carriers SA, will begin operating in the Chatham Islands by late 2027.
The vessel will replace the aging Southern Tiare, a nearly 40-year-old ship that has caused repeated supply disruptions, including fuel shortages and livestock culls.
The new ship aims to provide a reliable, long-term service supporting key industries like fishing, farming, and tourism, without requiring major infrastructure upgrades.
The project was announced during a government visit to the islands, emphasizing the commitment to improving supply chain resilience and economic stability in the remote community.
