CENTREPORT SUSPENDS OPERATIONS AND INSPECTS
PORT AND PROPERTY
CentrePort has suspended port operations until further notice, following the 7.5 magnitude earthquake in North Canterbury, early this morning.
Chief Executive Derek Nind said staff were coordinating inspections of port property and assets during daylight hours today.
“We have sustained damage to buildings and the port and also some liquefaction and differential settlement in places.”
The company was currently inspecting its Harbour Quays site, as well as inspecting its other facilities.
CentrePort said it was working through a process with tenants to ensure all buildings were safe before they were re-occupied, which would happen over the coming days.
“We understand this is inconvenient for customers and tenants and we’ll provide updates when we know more,” Mr Nind said.
“Our primary focus is
safety.”
