    The ferry's being retired to let work begin on port infrastructure, for new vessels arriving in 2029.

    Demolition will begin on Aratere's specialised dock in Picton this year.

    Interislander General Manager Duncan Roy says Aratere will sit at its Wellington berth while sale options are considered.
