GMV Aranui
GMV ''Aranui'' was a roll-on roll-off train ferry operating across the Cook Strait between 1965 and 1983.
==History==
Government Motor Vessel (GMV) ''Aranui'' was built in 1965 for the New Zealand Railways Department for the service between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. She was built by Vickers in England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=NZ Rail Ferry Aranui )〕 In February 1965, she sailed via the Panama Canal, arriving at Wellington on 28 May〔 and entered service with her sister . In 1977 she was rebuilt at Dunedin〔 to carry 950 passengers to meet the increased traffic, following the company's main competitor, the Union Company's withdrawal from the route.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=New Zealand's Cook Strait Rail Ferries )〕
In 1983, ''Aranui'' and ''Aramoana'' were replaced by the significantly larger MV ''Arahura''. ''Aranui'' was laid up at Wellington in June 1984 and sold four months later to the Najd Trading & Construction Company of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.〔 Renamed ''Aranui A'' and then ''Nui'', she commenced service carrying Moslem pilgrims on the Red Sea.〔
In 1986, she was renamed ''Najd III''. Five years later, following an engine failure, she was laid up at Singapore.〔 In 1992, her owners were unable to make progress payments for a repair/refit. She arrived at a Chittagong breaker's yard on 3 November 1994.〔
