It appeared at the time, there was a dispute onboard the vessel amongst the crew involving three crew from the same family. The Greymouth Police had problems communicating with the crew, but they found a Japanese lady who was on holiday here at the time, and she was able to step in as the interpreter, After the problem was sorted out, the KINSHO MARU departed the port.
