What the media doesn't tell you

in the latest report from the unfolding drama on Astrolabe Reef a single terse sentence.
This morning, operations around the ship were disrupted by four boats inside the exclusion zone.
In the latest update for the media on the Maritime New Zealand website
URGENT:
There are currently four vessels with media on board breaching the maritime exclusion zone. They are close to the Rena and they are disrupting salvage operations.

Air operations cannot be undertaken while these vessels are in the area and have ceased while this is resolved. This is because we cannot risk lifting or dropping off heavy equipment while these vessels are nearby.

We are at a critical stage of the salvage operation and these vessels need to leave the area immediately.
They are pretty good at reporting other peoples failings it would seem but not their own.
