BLUEBRIDGE FERRY DELAYS - 4’APR
Updated Wednesday 29th March (10:35am)
Due to high swells experienced on Cook Strait last night, all ferries today have been cancelled until at least 8pm tomorrow night. Bluebridge are closely monitoring and reviewing the weather forecast.
Please note that these cancellations, coupled with the cancellations from earlier this week, has had an enormous impact on our interisland freight network. We are not able to collect any interisland freight until ferry services resume. Likewise, any freight currently in the network will be delayed.
Please expect delays of 48 - 72hrs. Our operations teams will be in contact with affected customers. Note: there will still be a backlog of freight once the ferry schedule resumes, so expect network delays.
