Good afternoon
Thank you for your enquiry on the break costs for the ships contract with the Hyundai Mipo Dockyard.

Please be advised we are declining your request in full under Section 9(2)(j) - commercial negotiation.
This is because negotiations with the shipyard are ongoing, and we are unable to disclose any details while they continue.

I recon you chase them up about breaking contract because to me from the tone of the government that it has been broken, from how it sounds from kiwirail there is still the potential to resume the contract? Maybe I am unsure.
