🚦 Overall Operational Status
Overall port operations are running well.
🏗 Container Terminal Update
The container terminal is operating well and with a short week for the Matariki long weekend we’d like to remind customers that the port remains open. To support forward vessel schedules we request that all customers/stakeholders maximise the collection of import containers from the Terminal over the long weekend.

🚚 Multi-Cargo (MC) Operations
Three vessels alongside currently and operations running smoothly given the short week. Steel volumes on the up which is a positive sign for the economy. Expecting a steady flow of PCC and other vessels over the long weekend.
Container/Breakbulk berths and yard are at 100% capacity, expected to decrease to 70% midweek next week.
Car volume in the yard is currently at 80% capacity and will increase to 100% from midweek with multiple PCC vessels 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.

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.
