Working Smarter to
Increase Capacity
Ports of Auckland has
reviewed the layout of the Fergusson Terminal truck grid to improve
the efficiency of trucks moving through the terminal and to
accommodate increased volumes.
The new grid will
have 18 truck lanes (up from the current 12), which will enable a
more efficient operation and provide capacity for future growth. The
new grid is expected to be completed late April.

Art-Box NZ makes first stop in round the world journey
The Art-Box NZ
that was commissioned by Maersk Line and Ports of Auckland
arrived at Port of Philadelphia yesterday. The container
carrying a shipment of frozen Coromandel Greenshell Mussels will
soon make its way to Mark Foods, New York
“We are pleased
to be part of this exciting project that illuminates container
shipping’s value as a driving force in connecting world markets
and creating economic growth. The fact that the Art-Box is a
refrigerated container further emphasizes the contribution
state-of-the-art containerised technology makes to providing
healthy, fresh food to markets throughout the world,” said Bill
Duggan, Vice President of Refrigerated Sales, Maersk Line North
America.
Follow the
Art-Box on Twitter: #ArtBoxNZ. People that see the travelling
Art-Box are encouraged to photograph the painted container and
share their images with Maersk Line and Ports of Auckland using

'What we do' videos
Recently we made
a series of short videos about the Port and the various roles
within it.
The 12 videos,
all about a minute long, are designed both for the curious
onlooker and also anyone who might be wondering what it takes to
get a job at the port.
The videos are
being released via our YouTube channel, FaceBook and Twitter
over a couple of months and will finally be loaded on our
website.
You can see the
first five here:
Straddles,
Tugs,
Pilots,
Engineering,
Lashing.
Please feel free
to share the videos with your friends and family.
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.
