🚦 Overall Operational Status

This past fortnight has been a mixed bag operationally. We've had a busy week in Multi-Cargo and the Container Terminal but had some operational issues which impacted some customers in the Container Terminal. Today, heavy weather has rolled in which we will manage as best we can. 

 🏗 Container Terminal Update

Container Terminal is at 84% utilisation and expected to drop towards the end of week however we expect that to build again across the weekend. We have some VBS capacity on Thursday and a good supply on Friday and across the weekend.

 eGate

Reminder that eGate is available for all carriers to use in the empty yard for LINK or empty export drop offs. eGate is not yet available for an empty pick up.  eGate training manuals can be found here. Contact Drivers Assist on 0800 767 800 or [email protected] for support with eGate or to get set up.

Exeloos now available near new Gate 4 

We’re pleased to share that exeloos are now open and available near the new Gate 4 location at Fergusson Empty Yard. Access is granted via a Port of Auckland Security Access Card.

🚚 Multi-Cargo (MC) Operations

Overall operations running well. The Multi-Cargo Terminal will be busy until late Thursday. We have a steady line up of vessels arriving over the coming weekend and expect no delays.

Container/Breakbulk berths and yard are at 30% capacity and will increase to 80% over the weekend and into next week. Car volume in the yard is currently at 45% capacity. Capacity is expected to increase from the next weekend with multiple PCCs arriving.

⚠Safety Notice:

As part of Port of Auckland’s continued focus on safety, we’ve been encouraging truck drivers to paint their truck pins to help improve visibility for our straddle drivers.  Painted pins make a real difference in keeping operations safe and efficient. Thank you to those that came and got their pins painted with us recently.

PPE Footwear 

  • POAL also requires all staff, contractors and visitors entering an operational site to wear footwear compliant with AS/NZ 2210.3:2009 standard. This ensures that footwear provides the adequate protection from workplace hazards. Safety footwear should include a protective toe cap made of steel or composite, slip resistant soles, puncture resistant materials and adequate support for the foot and ankle. Therefore, sports shoes and sneakers are not adequate footwear for personnel to wear while in an operational area.
