Chris Mackenzie: Ferry Holdings chairman on Treasury's warning on Cook Strait ferry project

from Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive · host Newstalk ZB

Ferry Holdings' chair insists buying two new Interislander ferries and improving docks to accommodate them won't blow out costs.  In a Treasury briefing last September, officials raised concerns building portside infrastructure could exceed the budget. But chair Chris Mackenzie says that briefing was premature.  "You've got to remember that this report that was done last September was done before we'd even started detailed negotiations with the ports."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
