Interislander says the ferry Aratere will be brought back into port today while an investigation into the stranding continues.

Tugboats will attempt to refloat the Aratere after an Interislander ferry ran aground in New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds.

The Aratere has been refloated - but when it's back in Picton can't move again until it gets the all-clear from investigators.

The grounding of the Aratere ferry is a wake-up call for the coalition government to invest in new vessels and infrastructure, critics say.

New Zealand transport operator Interislander says it will conduct an investigation into a ferry, which ran aground.

People have been turning out in Picton to get a glimpse of the stranded Aratere, which is visible from parts of the seaside town.

The Interislander ferry only recently underwent wet dock maintenance, which included the replacement of its steering system.
