Cook Strait Weather Disruption Notice

Large swells are forecast for the Cook Strait over the coming days, and ferry sailings are likely to be cancelled on Tuesday 19 August and Wednesday 20 August.

Please allow an additional 1–2 days for inter-island freight during this time.

Other Weather Delays

Burkes Pass and Lindis Pass was closed last night so there will be delays with freight getting into Central Otago. Arthur’s Pass was closed to any towing vehicles which will also result in delays into the West Coast region.

This will impact severely on 2-day freight travelling through our network and there will be significant delays in deliveries.
