SeapixOnlineDisplaying 1036 of 11113 BF AYITA (2004/7813grt/10385dwt/IMO 9290048, ex-ONEGO BATZ, BBC CHILE, BATZ, S. PACIFIC, ILE DE BATZ) - the Antigua & Barbuda-registered general cargo vessel arrived in Auckland from Newcastle, Australia to take on bunkers. During her approach to her Wynyard Wharf berth the photographer, monitoring the marine-band radio heard one of the tug masters ask the pilot what the cargo on the foredecks was. The reply……. “Bulk cargo in containers, ex-China for Chile. I was going to say containers of nuclear waste but thought that might not be appropriate.” Obviously someone with a sense of humour.
