While some cargo did shift, the main reason for return to port was problems with a piston.
These ships are regular callers to Napier and this vessels association goes back to 1985 when she began calling at the port as Jebsen Napier. She had two sisters, General Villa ex Jebsen Timaru on the same timber service to the USA, and the former Jebsen Tauranga which now operates in coastal trade in China as Hai Heng, photoed recently minus her distinctive gantries.

From what I can see from the photograph the Mate wants shooting for allowing his ship to sail with what looks like "boot laces" for lashing and inadequate timber stanchions. Those container stanchions are no good, Looks like they've used those nylon lashings instead of chains and bottle screws and not many nylon lashings either. Jebsens must be delighted
though they may have declared General Average which will help to off-set the costs but is an headache for those involved , shippers, receivers, owners, underwriters, avaerage adjusters (they make money :-D ) and the bloke who sells the papers outside Freyberg Wharf ;-)
