Parts of the new Cook Strait mega ferries had already been built and tested, before the contract for the ships was canned.
The Government announced last year that it would not give Kiwirail more money for the new ferries, but a written question to Paul Goldsmith revealed some engine parts had been built.
ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper explains that this will likely cost Kiwis.
