Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Don't take this article out of context...they article even states that this is common practise. If a vessel needs a part and another ship or vessel has the part and not needing it while it is in NZ port. It gets sent over to get the vessel home and waiting for the replacement part come from the supplier. This is nothing new...
