As per Bluebridge website (9:05am), conditions in Cook Strait have slightly improved and sailings are now going ahead; however, they will be rough and may take longer resulting in delays.

Furthermore, weather conditions and accidents have caused the closure of Central North Island roads. Please expect delays for freight crossing the Central North Island.
