A visit by the French navy patrol vessel La Moqueuse to New Zealand has been delayed and may possibly be cancelled.
The ship was due in Auckland on Friday for a four-day goodwill visit but the French Embassy in Wellington said the ship had been delayed by technical problems and if the visit continued it would not arrive until Monday or Tuesday.
An embassy spokesperson said if the visit was cancelled, another French navy ship, the patrol vessel La Glorieuse may visit instead.
