Having a good relationship with shipping companies helps to keep things running smoothly at the port
As the New Zealand apple export season hots up Port Nelson (PNL) is running at full capacity reshuffling the port and carefully managing space. The full capacity of the port is 2700 full containers and 5000 empties.
Port Nelson handles approximately 10,200 TEU of apples each calendar year. Cold store capacity in Nelson and Motueka has increased the last few years which extends the apple season from March to July and even into August.
“Providing capacity to store and operate over the fruit season is our biggest challenge. We frequently find ourselves combining two stacks by filling up the separating roadway at the port to accommodate the increase in cargo volume. This increases capacity and reduces manoeuvrability, it is a considerable logistical exercise,” explains Jonny Cook, Container Operations Manager at Port Nelson.
