On 30 June 2021, KiwiRail signed a contract with the Korean shipyard Hyundai Mipo Dockyard (HMD) for the delivery of two new ferries to service Cook Strait. This is part of a wider project (Project iReX) to procure new ferries and develop the landside infrastructure in Picton and Wellington to accommodate the new ferries. Given the significance of Project iReX, KiwiRail’s status as a State-Owned Enterprise, and the fact that Crown funding has been allocated towards Project iReX, KiwiRail has engaged with Ministers and Government departments throughout this process.
This proactive release contains official information in relation to the development of Project iReX, and engagement with Ministers in advance of the contract with HMD being signed on 30 June 2021. The documents have been collectively prepared by the Treasury, the Ministry of Transport and KiwiRail for proactive release.
