    BusinessDesk reports a temporary wharf's being considered for Picton, to let boats come in and out while a permanent one's being built.

    New Cook Strait ferries are arriving in 2029.

    Ferry Holdings expects cost savings from the interim wharf - but can't yet say how much it will trim off the final bill.
