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 Aratere is back on the water after a night-time refloating operation.

Nadine Taylor says the grounding of the Aratere near Picton has raised questions about how KiwiRail is looking after its Interislander ferries.

The Aratere grounding shows the fragility of the link between the North and South islands, Transporting NZ says.

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

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