Inter-Island Freight Disruption - February 12 2026

Written by KLN Oceania | Feb 15, 2026 11:29:30 PM

Following recent severe weather conditions and associated Cook Strait ferry cancellations, inter-island freight movements between the North and South Islands are currently experiencing disruption.

Current Status

  • North Island to South Island freight that departed on Friday travelled as scheduled prior to ferry cancellations and continues to move through the network as normal.
  • Freight scheduled to depart this evening and potentially tomorrow may experience delays, subject to confirmation of available ferry sailings.

Expected Impact

  • Possible short-term delays for northbound and southbound inter-island cargo
  • Re-sequencing of freight once sailings resume
  • Extended transit times depending on ferry capacity availability

We are closely monitoring ferry schedules and capacity updates and will advise as further clarity becomes available.

If you require shipment-specific updates, please contact your KLN Customer Service Team.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
