Overview

About This Vessel

DEV Aratere is a roll-on/roll-off rail and vehicle ferry operated by KiwiRail in New Zealand. Built in 1998 for Tranz Rail and lengthened in 2011, she operated four daily crossings on the Interislander service across Cook Strait from Wellington to Picton each day (with six crossings over the December/January period). As of 2024, Aratere was New Zealand's only rail ferry. When the vessel was not available, rail freight between the North and South Islands had to be transferred to trucks, driven onto other Cook Strait ferries, and then transferred back to rail after the crossing, with associated additional time and cost. She was retired in August 2025 and sold for scrapping in India.

This ship has no verified emissions report. We estimate a band E from its segment, size and age (100% confidence).

Estimate, not a reported figure. Within one band 95% of the time on reported peers.

A coverage-weighted blend of the 3 components we could read for this hull — the weights renormalise over only the components present, so a thin read is never inflated and a hull is never credited a “safe 0” for a signal it has no row for. Higher means riskier. Derived in-house from government-open port-State-control, flag, sanctions and our own vessel data; weight it by the coverage above.

Estimate only — modelled from deadweight (hull geometry) using a first-principles hydrostatic model, not measured hydrostatic tables. The design draught it is anchored to is unreliable across the fleet.

The declared type conflicts with the class implied by the vessel’s size signals — a possible mis-declaration. Inferred via our shared size-based classifier.

Signals are a current-state view: a flag clears once the vessel stops tripping its detector. These are screening indicators, not a substitute for your own due diligence.
