Those inherent risks: another ship breaks down

Well finally the investigation into High Mortality Voyage 51 (Jan 2014!) on the Ocean Drover is released: verdict high mortality due to vessel breaking down. Yep, they ran out of food, had to take on new and different food (after competition led to increased mortalities on remaining rationed food) and that the sudden change in fodder resulted in ruminal acidosis in both sheep and cattle. What a debacle.

So, here we are again. The Girolando Express has finally left Port Phillip Bay where it has sat, loaded with cattle since Sunday 6th December because it broke down.  .....So add on an extra 8 days to the scheduled 16 days. Has DAFF put an AAV onboard...for a voyage over 10 days initially that will now be over 26 days....if those repairs hold up? Or will this be the next high mortality voyage?
