Lyttelton Port Of Christchurch – Operational Status Update

Lyttelton Port of Christchurch has completed initial engineering, maintenance and electrical assessments on the ports infrastructure, plant and auxiliary services.

We wish to advise that operations have resumed for:

Lyttelton Container Terminal – all operations commenced at 1030

Lyttelton Coal operations – all operations commenced at 1100

Oil Berth – Temporary repair work is being undertaken on the Oil Berth and we anticipate operations commencing at approximately 1300.

We are working with all parties to ensure limited affects to forecasted shipping movements and cargo transfer through the port.

Engineers and civil maintenance staff will be continuing to carry out extensive structural checks to monitor the ports infrastructure and services over the coming days / weeks, as we have consistently been doing since each major earthquake and aftershock since September 2010.

We would like to thank all of our customers for their understanding and patience in what has been a stressful and busy time for everyone.
