Busy season ahead for Eastland Port with nine log ships booked for May

1 min read

Eastland Port had a busy month in April, with 10 log ships and three kiwifruit ships making use of the port.

A total of 233,000 tonnes of logs were loaded onto the log ships, while 3120 pallets were loaded onto the kiwifruit ships at the new Wharf 7.

The Albatros dredge was also hard at work in the shipping channel for a significant part of the month.

According to a spokesperson for Eastland Port, the dredge completed its task and left on Friday afternoon.

Looking ahead, the port has already booked nine log ships for May, which is seen as a positive number, especially as the winter months approach.

Eastland Port is expected to remain busy in the coming months as it continues to facilitate the export of logs and other goods from the region.
