New Ports of Auckland Logo
From 2014, you’ll
start to see a new Ports of Auckland logo appearing around the
place. We decided to refresh our old logo to mark a change in
how this port is operating. Over the last three years our aim
has been to modernise the port, to lift our game and keep up
with the best. We're looking worldwide for best practice and
making our own innovations here so that we can deliver better
service to our customers.
We decided to
refresh the logo, to publicly mark the changes that have been
taking place behind the scenes. The new design is an evolution
of our existing logo, but has brighter, fresher more modern
feel. We hope you like it.

Truck Service Statistics
The latest truck
services statistics report is now available. Ports of Auckland
is committed to providing a consistent and timely service to
road carriers, enabling import and export cargo to be picked up
and delivered in a timely way. We are also committed to being
totally transparent about our performance.
Performance
against this commitment is measured in several ways, including:
- the proportion of truck visits
entering via the self-service kiosks (rather than by manual
process in the Road Office)
- the average time taken to turn a
truck
- the proportion of truck visits
turned within 30 minutes
- the average quantity of containers
exchanged per truck visit
- the average dwell time of import
containers in the port.
