Due to severe weather warnings across the North Island, many carriers are currently unable to service several regions, including New Plymouth, Whanganui, Wairarapa, and Wellington. These areas are experiencing hazardous conditions such as fallen trees, downed power lines, high winds, and multiple road closures, which are significantly disrupting transport routes.
States of emergency are currently in place across Manawatu, Otorohanga, Waipa, Tararua, and Rangitikei. The Lower Hutt and wider Wellington region have been severely impacted, with public transport services cancelled.
Conditions in the Cook Strait are forecast to deteriorate significantly due to large swells and strong winds. As a result, Cook Strait ferry crossings were cancelled on Sunday 15 February and Monday 16 February, impacting all interisland freight movements.
Further heavy rain and severe gales are forecast to continue across the eastern North Island and into Marlborough, Canterbury, and the Chatham Islands. These conditions are expected to result in ongoing and significant delays nationwide for both courier and linehaul freight.
