Lyttelton Port of Christchurch, in consultation with our key stakeholders, is implementing a vehicle booking system (VBS) at our container handling sites. A VBS is an online tool that requires trucking companies to book time slots and verifies information before trucks arrive. This will result in a number of benefits to all parties in the supply chain by improving information data quality, reducing congestion and smoothing out traffic flows.
Please see attached below Ports of Auckland’s Road Exchange operating hours and VBS release times for Labour Weekend.
Please note Public Holidays are Import Demurrage free days as per their price schedule – Monday 23 October will be a free day.
Hazardous Storage allowable dwell time remains the same. Please contact Customer Service if you have a Dangerous Goods container query or a special request. Please plan with your customer to manage the volumes over the long weekend and the following week.
