Creditors get South Korean ship detained
A South Korean logging ship anchored in Poverty Bay has been seized following a High Court order.
The vessel's South Korean went into receivership last week and receivers acting for the company's creditors sought an order to detain the ship.
The ship, New Giant, was to have docked at Gisborne this week to load logs but the port company has denied it access out of concerns it could become stranded alongside the wharf.
It cannot be moved without High Court approval and there is no indication at this stage how long the ship might have to stay in Gisborne.
The writ detaining it has been taped to the ship's side and the captain has been given a copy.
The crew of 23 remain on board and a shipping agent says they have provisions to last a further couple of weeks.
