There's a view that the ferry deal timeline is optimistic.
Rail Minister Winston Peters has announced two road and rail-enabled ferries and upgrades to port infrastructure will be rolled out late in 2029.
Former Chair of the Ferry Ministerial Advisory Group Mark Thompson told Mike Hosking that will be a challenge with current conditions.
He says there's an influx of orders for ship builder, which could jeopardise the timeline.
