🚚 Multi-Cargo (MC) Operations

Container/Bulk berths and yard is at 30% capacity and expected to increase to 75% by early next week.  

PCC Car volume in the yard is currently at 50% capacity and expected to increase to 100% over the next week. 

We have a steady flow of RoRo vessels arriving at Bledisloe and the yard will be busy. Bledisloe North wharf construction is in full swing and progressing. The bottom of the Car Handling Facility (CHF) is under redevelopment for the cruise terminal and progressing. 

We are expecting a sizable steel shipment arriving at Jellicoe wharf over the weekend. Over at Freyberg wharf, whilst quiet at the moment, will start to get busy from late Thursday with the arrival of Hanyang and Poavosa Ace. 

As always, if you are on-port, please follow the instructions of the MC Ops & Stevedoring team and check with supervisors before entering operational areas.” 

⚠Safety Notice:

Truck pin visibility
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. 

Following the successful Truck Pin Painting initiative, we ran in December, where our team engaged directly with drivers across the truck grid we are encouraging all transport companies to ensure trucks arrive on site with their pins clearly painted.

A bright, visible coat on your twist-locks is particularly valuable during night operations, helping our operators land containers more accurately on your truck. It’s all about helping us help you: better visibility means fewer adjustments, reduced wear and tear on both your equipment and ours, and smoother, safer exchanges every time. Your effort in maintaining painted pins directly supports safe operations and protects your gear.

We will continue running more Truck Pin Painting sessions in the coming months across both day and night shift to continue supporting you on-site and making it easy to keep your pins painted.

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
