Another day and another ferry service sunk. Fuller360 has revealed it will not be reinstating its Coromandel ferry service this summer.

That's hot on the heels of the operator announcing it will no longer operate several Auckland services due to crew shortages.

In a statement Fullers says due to severe weather events and the challenge of being 12 crews short, the Coromandel service will remain on hold.

Thames-Coromandel mayor Len Salt spoke to Lisa Owen.
