We would like to provide further clarification on the World Masters Event that will take place this weekend. While this event will have an impact on truck access, we have assurance from the traffic management company that they have planned for making access available for trucks coming to and leaving the port during the event. Notes highlighted in yellow below have been updated from yesterday's Road Alert. The maps below may assist in clarifying how it will work. Traffic control personnel will be posted at both ends of the access ways as marked.R & D will be available from 0500 hours on Wednesday morning We will review the demurrage free time for vessels calling just prior to and over the weekend and will send an update on these as the vessel discharge times are confirmed. Thank you to National Road Carriers for collaborating with us on clarifying the arrangements for this event.
