The Ken Rei ship crew are all in ‘good spirits’ while docked at the Port of Napier.

The crew members have all previously reported negative test results related to COVID-19.

The crew members were tested yesterday afternoon again, and the tests are being processed today. 

None of the crew members has applied for shore leave in New Zealand, meaning they cannot leave the ship regardless.

The ship will be departing Napier on Thursday and be heading for Tauranga.
