Gaza Conflict Freight Issues

The current conflict in Gaza and the Red Sea Region has resulted in the re-routing of freight ships around the Cape of Good Hope. The situation in the Red Sea is highly volatile and is constantly evolving.

These delays could impact some goods for seasonal products like Easter. Retail NZ have had indications of delays of between 3 – 5 weeks and some increases in freight costs.
