A fishing vessel carrying two crew members with Covid-19 will dock at Queen's Wharf in Wellington on Monday.
Customs says plans are in place for managing Viking Bay's safe return to shore and the care of its crew.
The deep-sea fishing vessel has been anchored off the coast of Taranaki for almost a week after being denied permission to dock in New Plymouth because of the Covid-19 cases.
Customs' group manager maritime Stephen Waugh spoke to Perlina Lau.
