SeapixOnlineDisplaying 4 of 7 EDDA FONN (2003/4523grt/2800dwt/IMO 9273662) - this former Norwegian oil and gas industry offshore supply vessel arrived in Auckland this morning.
Purchased by the New Zealand government she will join the Royal New Zealand Navy fleet as HMNZS MANAWANUI taking up the role of a hydrographic and diving support vessel much like her predecessor namesake and the former HMNZS RESOLUTION both of which were decommissioned some years ago.
EDDA FONN began conversion into a naval platform at Frederikshavn, Denmark in February and following a 46-day, 12000+mile delivery voyage she arrived for a brief stop-over in Wellington three days ago.
EDDA FONN was re-registered in the name MANAWANUI at the beginning of May.
It has been reported she will be homeported in Gisborne.
