Auckland’s Container Port Takes Top Spot
Ministry of Transport statistics show Auckland
is the best performing container port in New
Zealand.
Statistics compiled on the performance of all New Zealand container ports show Ports of Auckland is now unequivocally the best performing container port in the country.
Ports of Auckland CEO Tony Gibson said “We have been the fastest port at loading and unloading ships for three years now, but our crane rate (how fast an individual crane works) has lagged behind. This quarter we’ve caught up with Tauranga on that measure.”
“This result demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach taken by the port since 2011 to improve performance. Better still, we have plans in place to lift our game even further,” he added.
