POAL R&D Hours September 9th

Good Afternoon,

On Friday the 9^th September there will be significant road closures through central Auckland and along the waterfront, including on Quay St, due to the Rugby World Cup 2011 opening ceremony.

Auckland Transport has asked that city workers either stay in town or get out of the CBD by 3.30pm, and that people either avoid driving near Quay St or make any essential trips or deliveries to the area early.

After careful consideration POAL has therefore decided to close container R&D operations at both Fergusson and Bledisloe terminals.

POAL Container Terminals R&D hours for Friday 9th and Sat 10^th Sept are as follows:

Friday September 9^th – both Terminals close at 15:00hrs
Saturday September 10^Th – both terminals open at 07:00hrs – 15:00hrs
Sunday 11^th – Standard R&D hours

POAL Empty Depot R&D hours for Friday 9th and Sat 10^th Sept are as follows:

Friday September 9^th – close at 15:00hrs
Saturday September 10^Th – open 07:00hrs – 15:00hrs
Sunday 11^th – Standard R&D hours

Multi-Cargo Wharves will be open as per current arrangement with individual stevedores

POAL will be releasing more VBS slots on Thursday night and Friday morning to offset the impact of the closure, and will be in touch with template holders to alter templates to suit.

Thank you for your cooperation in ensuring Auckland puts on a spectacular ‘Opening Night’ for RWC 2011.
