Container wash - Containers can be washed on site to MAF regulations before being dispatched and packed for export.
Storage - The container terminal offers storage for 20ft containers, 40ft containers, overheight containers and timber packs. Storage is available for approximately 4,500 containers with specialised areas for refrigerated, pre-trip, imports, exports, general and empty containers. A dangerous goods compound is available for the storage of hazardous substances.
Refrigerated container services - The container terminal is equipped with electrical points to handle 724 integral refrigerated containers. Manual montioring services are available for refrigeration equipment. The reefer area is configured for remote monitoring by Refcon equipment.
Container transfer
Containers are received by road and rail and the automated gate system minimises the average turn-round time for tucks. For trucks transferring containers, the terminal has an off-road 10 truck bay for parking allowing documentation to be completed and checked without hold-ups. One 24-wagon siding for rail transfers is available and significant technological advances through EDI allow container documentation to be electronically exchanged prior to arrival. On arrival, truck kiosks are available for expediting containers. | |
