C3 and Pedersen Group install debarker at Northport

Stevedoring firm C3 and forestry processing specialist Pedersen Group have installed a debarker at Northport to process logs exported from Northland.

The companies have been working to create end-to-end solutions under one umbrella for their customers since 2018.

The equipment is owned and installed by Pedersen Group, and operated by C3. Pedersen provides staff with expert training. Commissioning and staff training started in the first quarter of 2023, with the plant entering full commercial operation this month (April 2023).

Fumigator reports recapture results that exceed EPA controls

Genera, a leading provider of fumigation solutions and the company responsible for fumigating log exports from Northport, has introduced an advanced activated carbon recapture system for methyl bromide fumigation at the port.

The move comes in response to updated controls specified by the Environmental Protection Agency in 2021 for the use of methyl bromide for fumigation.

Cost-saving building technique finds extra efficiencies at Northport

An innovative Kiwi company using a revolutionary, ‘Lego-like’ technique to carve months off building projects is bringing pre-fabricated pods to the Upper North Island from Vietnam, through Northport. TLC Modular is taking advantage of available space and competitive laydown rates at the port to store its modules (white shapes in image above) before shipping them to building projects across the upper North Island.

Storm Gabrielle: damage to road, rail sparks interest in coastal option

Northport had no calls booked for Auckland-bound container cargo at the time of Storm Gabrielle so the damage to road and rail infrastructure between Auckland and Whangarei has not resulted in cancelled calls or any drop in planned or forecast container throughput. There has been no impact to the regular Northport coastal shipping and international services offered by CMA, MSC, Pacifica and Swire.
