Biosecurity New Zealand has ordered a Wallenius Lines car carrier to leave the country after stink bugs were discovered on board.
The state agency said biosecurity officers intercepted three live and 39 dead brown marmorated insects and 69 other dead regulated stink bugs after the 7,879-ceu Carmen (built 2011) arrived in Auckland from Europe last Wednesday.
It was carrying a range of vehicles from Europe and the US.
