Weather Disruptions - Tuesday June 29th 9.00am
29-Jun-2021 09:08 AM - Rowan
Severe weather conditions are
moving up the South Island and will have potential consequences to the movement
and delivery of freight between the North and South Islands over the next 48-72
hours.
Inter Islander Ferry Line have already informed us that due to forecasted Southerly Gales and predicted heavy swells in Cook Strait all ferry sailings on Tuesday 29th June have been cancelled. At this stage they also predict that ferry sailings on Wednesday 30th June will also be cancelled but will advise us of their schedules as the weather conditions alter or improve.
We apologise for the disruption this will cause to the movement of freight between islands but will do all we can to mitigate delays once sailings return to normal.
Thanks you for your patience as we work through the challenges that lie ahead.

09-Jun-2021 04:42 PM - Rowan
- Multiple events overnight have caused significant disruptions and extensive delays to our delivery network today – Wednesday 9 June.
- Disruptions are extensive – aircraft engineering issues, equipment breakdowns, road closures and vehicle incidents.
- These delays will be felt across the country, and the majority of products affected are items destined for Auckland, Dunedin, Invercargill and Central Otago.
- Smaller towns experiencing freight delays are as follows:
- Whangarei, Rotorua, Taupo, Tauranga, New Plymouth, Napier, Whanganui, Kapiti, Wellington and Lower Hutt.
- All perishable and urgent items will be prioritised. Please lodge these items into our network as early as possible so that we can manage this accordingly.
- We expect the delays within the Auckland and Dunedin centres to be fully recovered over the course of this week (including the weekend).
- All other areas across the network are expected to be fully recovered over the next 24 hours.
- We’re working hard to get these items to their destinations safely. Please bear with us as work through these disruptions.
