Our Fleet // Kent

The MV Kent was purchased from Ireland in 2001 and originally utilised on the Cook Strait run, doing a weekly service from Wellington to Nelson. In January 2007 she began a coastal service moving containers and general freight between the ports of Wellington, Nelson and Napier.

The 123 metre Kent is a versatile, freight only vessel with the capability to carry most forms of cargo and the expertise on board to manage almost every requirement.

At just under 7,000 tonnes, the Kent has a service speed of 15 knots and a capacity of 1,100 lane metres, or 200 TEU including 64 reefer points.

Built in Japan in 1977, the Kent has two pielstick engines.
