🏗 FergussonTerminal Update

 🚚 Multi-Cargo (MC) Operations

  • Container/Bulk berths and yard is at approx. 50% capacity and expected to remain at 50% by next week.
  • PCC Car volume in the yard is currently at approx. 100%+ capacity and expected to remain full into next week next week.

We have a steady flow of RoRo vessels arriving at Bledisloe to 22 Feb and then towards the end of the month. The yard is already busy due to some large discharges and will remain on the high side. We see a steady stream of crise vessel at Queens wharf for the month of Feb. Bledisloe North wharf & the Car Handling facility construction is progressing well. Draft Cruise & MC operational plans for Bledisloe operations are in the early stages of development.  

Over the next week, we have a few Pacific Island containers and coastal barge vessel around Freberg & Jellicoe wharfs.  

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.

 Compliant PPE worn on any Port of Auckland (POAL) Premises:

 Hi-Vis Clothing

  • To ensure your safety and visibility in operational areas, all clothing must meet the following standards: - AS/NZS 4602.1:2011 - Class "D/N" - AS/NZS 1906.4:2010 - Hi Visibility Materials for Safety Garments. 
  • Clothing must fit properly, be free or rips and tear, be clean and hand day and night strips for visibility. 
  • Acceptable safety clothing includes high-visibility fabrics and retroreflective materials that provide a strong optical effect in response to natura or generated light.

Hi Vis Gear

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
