10 hours in 30 seconds. Our new Hydrographic Vessel transits through the 82km long Panama Canal on its journey to New Zealand. This was the first of our ships to use the Panama Canal since 1993. Not surprising when the average toll that is charged to ships using the Canal is $US450,000. www.facebook.com/NZNavy/videos/409874189844263/ |

 Steady as she goes. The voyage continues for MV Edda Fonn, our future Dive Hydrographic Vessel, as she transits the Atlantic Ocean. She will travel 22,000km in total to reach New Zealand. We're looking forward to her arrival in May. |

Thanks for the updates Nighthawknz. I've been following this post with much interest and now I'm really looking forward to seeing her arrive at Devonport.

 Regular testing. The fixed firefighting hoses on our future dive hydrographic vessel can spray a wide arc of foam across the flight deck, while a portable hose can move in. It’s one of numerous safety drills conducted as the ship progresses to New Zealand. |

That "Patience" link is an interesting read. The Navy is suffering the exact circumstances as the Air Force

I caught a glimpse of her from the Westharbour ferry this morning. She certainly stands out, even from a distance, and dwarfs the OPV next to her.
