| 1236662 | 2011-10-11 00:58:00 | What does DNA stand for "National Dyslexia Association!"Not sure where you spotted that, but given the context I assume you mean NDA - that acronym normally stands for Non-Disclosure Agreement. | Erayd (23) | ||
| 1236663 | 2011-10-11 01:12:00 | We live on two large islands with overseas ports everwhere. I find it hard to understand that there is no "Immediate" plan prepared for such an occasion as this. Head in the sand perhaps? Can't happen here? PJ | Poppa John (284) | ||

| 1236668 | 2011-10-11 18:22:00 | There is going to be quite a few questions that are going to have answered about the grounding Mine would be 1-Have Maritime NZ been doing their job,compliance/inspections as they supposed too? 2-Have Maritime NZ also been lent on not to ruffle shipping companies leading to the cessation of certain companies leaving NZ out of the loop? 3-Was the ship late and trying to make up time not to incur Port late Fee's? 4-How defiant was the Navigation systems on board both hardware/human? 5 Could the start of the cleanup been started any quicker? Many more questions could be added |

It is the bigger harder questions that need to be answered and not put into the too hard basket |
