LPC Assessing Damage Following Aftershock

Lyttelton Port wishes to advise a 5.3 magnitude aftershock, 10 km north-east of Diamond Harbour hit at 5:49 pm yesterday.

Our team of engineers are currently assessing the port for damage and electrical and civil maintenance staff are continuing this morning to check plant for any damage - as is procedure following each major aftershock.

Lyttelton Container Terminal & Coal stevedoring operations have been placed on standby from 0700 this morning until the engineering assessments have been completed.

We will continue to advise as more information becomes available.

Chief Financial Officer
