MPI Advised restrictions - for transportation of lamb units

🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏🐑🐏

I have been in communication with Chris Blair from MPI re the new loading system in place for the Southern Tiare. 🚢

Ratio per pen - Stock density to be no greater that 0.3m2 which equates to 26 lamb units per pen.

Cattle ratio is fine🐮

No mixing of lambs and cattle on lower deck.

All going to plan with constant monitoring and the death rates being lowered or even better, nil, we will then be given the opportunity to slowly increase the pen count.

I understand this is not ideal for the numbers of stock units you the farmers need to ship each year, but our hands are tied by MPI compliance and regulations.

Kindest Regards
