Customer Advisory

CHC - Christchurch - Container Depot & Port Closures Due to Adverse Weather - February 12, 2026

Written by KLN Oceania | Feb 15, 2026 11:33:25 PM

Please be advised that due to adverse weather conditions in Christchurch, there is a high likelihood of multiple container depot and port closures over the next 24–48 hours.

Expected Impact

  • Port and container depots may open and close intermittently throughout today and tomorrow
  • Delays to container collections and empty dehires
  • Possible rescheduling of deliveries and transport movements

We will contact customers directly where empty containers cannot be dehired and, where required, request alternative off-hire depots.

Please note that KLN will not accept liability for detention or demurrage charges arising from terminal or depot closures and associated delays beyond our reasonable control.

We are closely monitoring conditions and will provide further updates as necessary.
