🚦 Overall Operational Status
Overall port operations are running well.
🏗 Container Terminal Update
Terminal vessel schedules and volume remain variable due to schedule delays offshore. Last 2 weeks berth window performance is 50% of the vessels arriving early or on window with 40% of the vessels departing on window.
Yard capacity utilisation has averaged approximately 70% over this period enabling container dwell times to remain at historic levels of 2.2 days dwell for Imports and 4.2 days for Exports.
Truck and rail activity has reverted to normal demand profiles however given last week was a high volume week, due to a number of large services arriving off window, the pressure on the road for peak slots is high.
This week is a low volume demand week, due to schedule delays to some services.
Please continue to monitor our website for any schedule changes and we appreciate all efforts to ensure cargo delivery and collection are managed within the designated receival and freetime periods.
🚚 Multi-Cargo (MC) Operations
Container/Breakbulk berths and yard are at 10% capacity and expected to reach 95% next week.
Car volume in the yard is currently 20% increasing to 100% with 6 PCC vessels across the weekend and early next week.
⚓ Marine Services Update
Operating well.
⚠Safety Reminder:
To ensure your safety and visibility in operational areas, all clothing must meet the following standards:
Hi-Vis Clothing
- AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 - Class "D/N" - AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 - Hi Visibility Materials for Safety Garments.
- Clothing must fit properly, be free or rips and tear, be clean and have day and night strips for visibility.
- Acceptable safety clothing includes high-visibility fabrics and retroreflective materials that provide a strong optical effect in response to natura or generated light.
Examples of non-compliant and compliant Hi-Vis garments have been provided below:
PPE Footwear
- POAL also requires all staff, contractors and visitors entering an operational site to wear footwear compliant with AS/NZ 2210.3:2009 standard. This ensures that footwear provides the adequate protection from workplace hazards. Safety footwear should include a protective toe cap made of steel or composite, slip resistant soles, puncture resistant materials and adequate support for the foot and ankle. Therefore sports shoes and sneakers are not adequate footwear for personnel to wear while in an operational area.
Empty Yard, drop offs:
- We have recently seen an increase in trucks not remaining stationary when being unloaded in the empty yard, and trucks are driving off prior to the empty hoist being clear. This is a danger to both the truck driver and the empty hoist driver. A reminder that breaches and repeated infringements may result in driver suspension
