The regional council is asking for naming suggestions for the harbourmaster team’s new vessel, which arrived last month.
A regional council spokesman said the 8.5m-long boat would be used around Dunedin’s harbour and coastline.
Its predecessor, the 7m Kaitiaki, is now based in the Lake Dunstan-Central Otago area for harbourmaster duties.
ORC harbourmaster Steve Rushbrook said the name would be decided by a panel of Ngai Tahu representatives and the council would decide the winner before an official naming ceremony next month.
— Name suggestions to comms@orc.govt.nz before October 28.
