Change to N4
Go-Live
Ports of Auckland has
been working hard to implement N4, our new terminal operating
system. N4 will provide us with the technological capability to
sustain and grow our operations in the years to come. The system is
now in its testing phase and we want to be absolutely certain that
it will be working properly before we allow the system to 'go-live'.
We want to ensure
that for customers the transition is seamless and we are able to
continue to deliver a high level of service.
We had been hoping
that the launch would happen in July this year but think it is
prudent to postpone the go-live to give the N4 team time to ensure
that our required quality standards are not compromised.
The project team are
now undertaking a review of how much longer they will need to ensure
the system is ready. We will update you on our new timeframes once
this work is complete.

ArtBox NZ journeys on
The ArtBox that
began its journey from Auckland in February with a cargo of
Coromandel Mussels destined for New York has since travelled on.
It made its way to Dubai carrying a cargo of military supplies
and is currently heading to Casablanca, Morocco. Here's an image
sent to us via Facebook, of the ArtBox in Tangier.
The box is due to
arrive in Casablanca tomorrow with its sweet cargo of
chocolates.
Where to next?
Follow the ArtBox on Twitter - #ArtBoxNZ or on
Ports of Auckland's Facebook page where we will post
updates and images as they come through.

get a job at the port.

Truck Service Statistics
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.
