新西兰海事联盟反对以安全和环境风险为由,早日终止MAView的紧急牵引合同。 New Zealand's Maritime Union opposes early termination of the MMA Vision’s emergency towing contract, citing safety and environmental risks.

新西兰海事联盟批评政府决定在2026年6月的原定结束日期之前, 提前2026年2月, 终止专为海洋航行的船只MMA Vision的紧急拖车合同。 The Maritime Union of New Zealand is criticizing the government’s decision to end the emergency towing contract for the MMA Vision, a dedicated ocean-going vessel, in February 2026—months ahead of the original June 2026 end date. 工会警告称，此举威胁到海事安全、环境保护和能源安全，并指出该船在拖曳金心油轮和协助马纳豪驳船搁浅等救援中已被证明的重要角色。 The union warns the move threatens maritime safety, environmental protection, and energy security, citing the vessel’s proven role in rescues like towing the Golden Mind tanker and assisting with the Manahau barge grounding. 有了105吨的浮壳拉力,MMA愿景比港口拖船更适合用于公海紧急情况,特别是在人们担心库克群岛海峡渡船老化的情况下。 With its 105-tonne bollard pull, the MMA Vision is better suited than harbor tugs for open-ocean emergencies, especially amid concerns over aging Cook Strait ferries. 该联盟正在敦促政府恢复供资,并建立一个永久性的紧急拖车解决方案,以维持安全和熟练的海事工作。 The union is urging the government to restore funding and establish a permanent emergency towing solution to maintain safety and skilled maritime jobs.
