BLUEBRIDGE FERRY CANCELLATIONS

We have received notification that the Connemara Ferry sailings have been cancelled for 24 hours.

As per the Bluebridge website:

Due to mechanical issue on the Connemara, the below sailings have unfortunately been cancelled.

Thursday 24 August

Wellington to Picton 8:30 pm

Friday 25 August

Picton to Wellington 2:30 am

Wellington to Picton 8:15 am

Picton to Wellington 2:00 pm

Hall’s will be using the next available crossing which is a 6-hour delayed service of the Feronia. This means that any freight that would have arrived in Christchurch by 6am tomorrow, for example, will now only arrive at midday.

However, please expect an overall delay of up to 24hrs for some deliveries. This is due to cut-off times that can no longer be achieved due to the ferry cancellation and delay.

Affected customers will be contacted by our operations teams.

Please check back to this page for any further updates.

Updated Friday 25th August (11:55am)

As per the Bluebridge website, notification about further cancellations. Please note that these additional cancellations will further impact our network, so please expect further delays.
