Update

At 6: 55 on June 16th, 21, an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 occurred in Kemadek Islands, New Zealand (3.8 degrees south latitude and 178.1 degrees west longitude) with a focal depth of 2km.

According to the news from the European Mediterranean Earthquake Center, an earthquake occurred in Kemadek Islands, New Zealand, and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) issued a tsunami warning. The New Zealand Civil Defence Organization said that if there is a tsunami, it is expected to arrive in New Zealand in two hours.

According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, there is no tsunami threat in Australia. It is speculated that even if there is a tsunami threat, because most of Australia's major iron ore ports are on the other side of Australia facing New Zealand (that is, the red line in the picture below and the red circle are the location of this earthquake), the ports will not be affected much.

It is worth noting that the tsunami is one-off, that is, once it happens, it will pass quickly. On the whole, it is expected that Australian iron ore port transportation will not be affected for the time being.

influence. If you plan to travel to Madek Islands, Bian Xiao suggested canceling your trip directly, because there may be a tsunami after the earthquake. It is not a wise choice to travel at this time. I suggest you change the time period or change the destination directly.
