Where practical Mainfreight is endeavouring to provide limited delivery services for cargo already in its Wellington and Christchurch depots says country manager Craig Evans.
To avoid unnecessary congestion at this time while connections into these regions are severely impacted, Mainfreight is suspending collecting general freight destined for these two regions and outlying districts until further notice.
Mainfreight will prioritise the movement of critical supplies such as food as options emerge and operational teams are surveying all possible options to navigate network blockages as information comes available.
“We can report that our Christchurch warehouses have escaped any structural or stock damage after our initial inspections. It appears our buildings and racking engineering design has performed to normal earthquake standards,” says Evans.
“We are advising customers that there may be some delays fulfilling orders while our teams systematically carry out precautionary safety procedures inspecting stock in high racking locations,” he says.
