🚦 Overall Operational Status
Overall port operations are running well.
🏗 Container Terminal Update
Terminal vessel schedules and volume remain variable due to schedule delays offshore. We have seen an increase in vessels arriving early or on window with 100% of those vessels departing on window.
There is a lot of activity happening over the next six weeks or so with the Container Terminal closure for N4 upgrade on 11-13th April followed by KiwiRail Block of Line from 12th April to 22nd April and the short weeks due to Easter and ANZAC day holidays. We will be allocating our resource to optimise road throughput and ask that you proactively manage collection of imports over the coming weeks.
Please continue to monitor our website for any schedule changes. We appreciate your effort to ensure cargo deliveries and collections are managed within the designated time periods.
We encourage you to review the Customer Advisory and plan ahead to minimise disruptions.

⚠Safety Notice:
Driving at the port:
It is important you follow all road signs, rules and pavement markings when driving on the port. There are two speed limits at the port - 15 km/h on Operational Roadways/Fergusson Service Roadway (marked in purple on map below) and 30 km/h on Common User Roadways (marked in green on map below). Please also reduce your speed when driving near pedestrians.
STOP! We have recently seen trucks moving early when being unloaded in the empty yard. Trucks starting to drive before the empty hoist is clear. This is dangerous for truck driver and the empty hoist driver.
Breaches and repeated infringements of port driving rules may result in driver suspension.
Check your twist locks and chains
Please ensure that your twist locks have all been unlocked and chains have been removed from any container being lifted from your trucks to avoid any damages to trucks and straddles.
