We received reports of extreme weather conditions at the Cape of Good Hope. As a result, vessels in transit from/to Australia/New Zealand are currently waiting on both sides of South Africa for conditions to improve to ensure safe passage.

High winds and rough seas may force some vessels to alter their routes or to seek shelter, which may create additional delays.

Arrivals to Australia + New Zealand as well as U.K. and Europe are likely to be delayed by 5 -7 days.

Please note – this does not currently affect sailings transiting Panama Canal Zone which remain on schedule.

BSI appreciates your understanding – we will be contacting you with further news
