Ferry shutdown: More Bluebridge sailings cancelled

  • March 29, 2026

The Connemara usually sails up to four times daily between Wellington and Picton.

Bluebridge said there were limited options for re-booking.

StraitNZ Bluebridge apologised “unreservedly” on Friday for the disruption but would not elaborate on what the fault was, just that it was taking longer than anticipated to fix.

Maritime NZ confirmed it would undertake its own inspection of the vessel to ensure safety standards were being met, but did not provide a timeframe.
