Napier Port to reopen for fuel deliveries tomorrow

From Nine To Noon, 10:45 am on 16 February 2023

Napier's Port has been out of action since 5pm on Monday and will be closed until tomorrow. Shipping will start again when it's safe to do so, with a number of vessels at anchor. A survey of Napier Port's operating assets has revealed only minor damage, with further assessments to take place throughout the coming week. As a lifeline asset Napier Port is providing facilities to the NZ Army on port, enabling them to set up a local base and assist with the region's response. Napier Port has deployed on-port generation to support critical infrastructure, including refrigerated containers. Todd Dawson is the CEO of the port and joins with an update.
