Maritime New Zealand records that the Funing -9690913 experienced an engine failing very early Monday early morning in the delivery network at Port of Tauranga in between Mauao (Mount Manganui) as well as Matakana Island.

Weather problems at the time were bad with a 30 knot wind as well as substantial swell.

Without power, the vessel wandered as well as got the chains holding among the buoys noting the delivery network. The trend as well as currents after that pressed the vessel to the opposite of the network, where it quit near Mauao (Mount Manganui).

There are no records or oil or various other air pollution or injuries to its 20 team.
