Fuck me this is dodgy, who the hell behind the scenes is shrugging off these concerns? Who's their dodgy hook-up for expired parts?
Kaitaki report finds ferry's failed $500 part was overdue for replacement
Quote:
The TAIC report found the root cause of the problem was a rubber expansion joint which ruptured in the cooling system. The part was manufactured in 2005 but installed on the Kaitaki in 2018. It was two months overdue for replacement.
...
The part manufacturer told TAIC that the part should not be installed if it was older than eight months old and replaced after five years if in a safety critical use.
