10 At 06: 55 on June 6, 2006, an earthquake of magnitude 7.2 occurred in Kemadek Islands, New Zealand (30.80 degrees south latitude, 178. 10 degrees west longitude) with a focal depth of 20 kilometers.

According to the news from the European Mediterranean Earthquake Center, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) issued a tsunami warning after an earthquake occurred in Kemadek Islands, New Zealand. 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 Meteorological Bureau, 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 and red circle in the picture below are the locations of this earthquake), the ports will not be greatly affected.

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.

Will it affect?

Influence. If you plan to travel to Madek Islands, Bian Xiao suggests 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.
