Disabled trawler towed to Otago
The "Rehua" was towed to the head of Otago Harbour by a competitor on Dec 10, 2017, after a salvage mission which lasted more than two days. The vessel had lost power on Dec 8 after its propeller became unexpectedly entangled in another company's fishing nets in the Southern Ocean. Another Sanford vessel, the "San Enterprise" which was fishing in the area, towed the ship to the pilot station at the mouth of Otago Harbour about a distance of 400 km. From there, the Port Otago tugs "Arihi" and "Otago" pulled it to Dunedin for repairs. Divers were called to go under the ship to remove the net on Dec 11.
