The Hustle and Bustle of Global Shipping in New Zealand

The cost of transporting goods around the world is soaring in New Zealand, and it looks like the change isn’t going to slow down any time soon. As a result, many businesses are looking for other options, such as air freight or rail. One recent report from Statistics NZ, compiled before the latest cost change in container shipping rates this year, shows that in 2019 these costs fell by 14 percent when compared to last year.

But a recent report from New Zealand’s news outlet Stuff has shown that in just one month of this year these figures have reversed and skyrocketed 500%. For many business owners, this is not an option.
