Update 11-February-2022
Network Flooding Delays
Pacific National has confirmed that the East-West rail line will reopen on Tuesday, 15th February. Inevitably, there will be a considerable amount of freight in transit and we will continue to redirect freight to coastal until the volume normalizes some time in March.
Update 02-February-2022
Network Flooding Delays
The current situation is access to repair sites are challenging, and at this time network opening is not expected for another 2 weeks (26th February).
We continue to monitor the progress and are redirecting freight to coastal until the rail line opens.
Update 28-January-2022
Network Flooding Delays
ARTC conducted aerial inspections of the track and determined that there is more damage than expected. They are unable to provide a firm date for the reopening of the line, the current estimate will be between the 7th and 12th of February.
We are currently re-directing onto vessels to minimize significant impact and delays.
Update 27-January-2022
Network Flooding Delays
Due to significant rail line damage due to floods, rail services have been canceled till at this stage Monday, February 7th. The Stuart Highway is still cut off with several sections underwater along with some erosion already identified in other areas, there was some water receding yesterday but rainfall expected late yesterday/today may cause additional delays.
CEVA is actively addressing the situation using shipping to free the backload of vehicles not being able to be transported on rail.
These two events have placed significant pressure on our network and the backlog to these lane closures is going to take some time to clear once access is open.
Update 25-January-2022
Network Flooding Delays
The rail line will not be operational until possibly Sunday, 30th of January and the Stuart Highway is now also closed due to severe flooding.
WESTERN AUSTRALIA
Vehicles currently enroute into and ex WA from all States will be delayed by approx. 9 days using the above timing as a measure.
All new bookings will require an additional 10-days transit time for the next two weeks to allow for the network recovery.
NORTHERN TERRITORY
Vehicles travelling into and ex Darwin will be delayed by approx. 10 days, with all new bookings requiring an additional 10-days transit time.
We will continue to actively manage the situation and advise you if there are any changes to the above timing.
22-January-2022
ARTC has advised that the network is closed on the East – West corridor between Lyons & Coondambo SA, due to severe flooding.
They hope to reopen the network sometime on Wednesday, 26th January.
This advice is being provided to assist customers with planning for the inevitable flow on effects that will result from vehicles being delayed in transit. This only affects rail services and as we are a multi modal provider, we will continue to service East to West seamlessly via ocean carriage.
We will continue to do everything possible to minimise the inconvenience to our customers and will provide updated ETA’s to those affected.
Please note this is a force majeure event and is out of CEVA's control.
