The ongoing saga of the new Australian Icebreaker Nuyina continues, it cannot pass under the Tasman Bridge in the Derwent River in its home port of Hobart, during computer simulations it hit the bridge 4 times and now has to travel 660ks to Burnie to refuel. The Tasmanian government is assessing the viability of a fuel barge to save on the extra $875,000 it costs.
