New Zealand Europe Trade Lane

Stockwell International New Zealand would like to update customers on the current NZ/Europe shipping climate.

  • Currently there are no direct FCL services from the Shipping Lines ex Europe/Med to New Zealand.
  • All vessels are transshipping over Singapore or Port Klang except for shipping line Hamburg Sud who are transshipping over Cartagena.
  • The Europe/Mediterranean origin points have stopped taking new bookings as most Shipping Lines who tranship via Asia (Singapore or Port Klang) are experiencing issues due to large rolling pools of cargo at tranship points of 4 – 6 weeks
  • Due to the previously mentioned issue Hamburg Sud via Cartagena has been hit with a tidal wave of bookings as other Shipping Lines have stopped taking bookings.

As a result this will take some time to get back to some normality.

Stockwell International will keep you updated.
