Thirteen San Aotea II crew members, and a honey-mooning couple, touched New Zealand soil for the first time in months on Tuesday when the longliner berthed in Timaru. John Bisset/Stuff Shahin Page was the first San Aotea II crew member to disembark the San Aotea II on Tuesday morning after the long liner berthed in Timaru. After returning negative Covid-19 tests, the 13 fishermen and Auckland couple Feeonaa and Neville Clifton, were given permission to leave the ship just after 8am. Feeonaa Clifton said she was grateful to Sanford for its help in getting her and her husband Neville home.
