Please see the below notice we have been sent by our freight providers regarding a disruption to Inter Island freight. This will affect TIL, Mainstream and possibly courier deliveries as well.
Good Morning
You may be aware of an incident yesterday involving the Bluebridge ferry docking in stormy conditions at Picton.
Ferry sailings have been delayed or cancelled as a result of this incident.
Some Freight line haul units have been affected by this, and we anticipate this may cause delays to our Inter Island services and in turn delivery schedules for the remainder of this week.
We thank you for your patience and will be doing our best to minimize disruption.
Additional updates will be provided as further information is available.
