18204 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Associate Minister of Transport: Will the Minister direct Maritime New Zealand to publish monthly rather than quarterly ship visit data for the duration of the Strait of Hormuz crisis so that Parliament and the public can monitor the impact on New Zealand's maritime supply chain in near real time?

Hon James Meager: This matter is not under active consideration at present. The supply chain remains resilient, and current efforts are focused on monitoring and publishing fuel data, which is released twice weekly.
