Please see a note from Clinton Meneses from Interislander below:

'Although we recommend all trucks be fitted with tie down points/lashing points, for vehicles like horse trucks, it is not a mandatory requirement. I have copied a blurb from the website below, and more information can be found on this link

https://www.kiwirailfreight.co.nz/interislander-cv/lashing-points/

Most vehicles more than 3500kgs carrying a load must be fitted with approved lashing points.  Below is a list of the vehicle types that are exempt from this requirement:

·     -Road freight, road tank and road livestock vehicles that are not intended for transport on roll-on/roll-off ships but are being freighted for delivery purposes only without payload

·     -Passenger vehicles including cars, mini-buses, coaches, buses, motorhomes, caravans and horse trucks

·     -Oversize vehicles

·     -Railway wagons

·     -Special vehicles including fire engines, tow trucks, car transporters, ambulances, horse floats or vehicles specifically designed to transport horses, boat trailers.

Thank you
