Freight Disruptions in NZ Due to Severe Weather
Recent severe weather events in New Zealand have caused widespread disruptions, particularly in the Wellington and Canterbury regions, including Christchurch.
The adverse conditions—characterised by strong winds reaching up to 160 km/h, heavy rainfall, and flooding—led to:
Road closures and transport delays
Flight and ferry cancellations
Local states of emergency and evacuations
While weather conditions have since improved, ongoing cleanup operations and infrastructure damage may continue to affect freight and logistics services.
Consequently, delays in the delivery of New Zealand consignments may occur in the coming days.
