We’re well equipped with machinery and software, but it’s our people who really make the difference. Our teams are committed to delivering the best service to our customers and the importers and exporters who use our facilities.
The Fergusson Container Terminal is a dedicated container handling facility. The terminal approach helps us use our land efficiently. It has eight ship-to-shore cranes on 900 metres of berth.
It is also home to the largest and most sophisticated straddle carrier fleet in New Zealand, made up almost entirely of hybrid diesel-electric machines. All of the our container cranes and straddle carriers are twin-lift capable, meaning they have the capacity to lift two 20-foot containers at a time. This provides Auckland with a distinct competitive advantage over other New Zealand ports and enables greater efficiencies in cargo handling. Our straddles are low-emission, low-noise, diesel-electric models. They can also provide back-up power generation to the port, ensuring that refrigerated cargo is always protected.
