“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,” says POAL chief executive officer Tony Gibson.

“This result demonstrates the effectiveness of the approach taken by the port since 2011 to improve performance,” he says.
