Napier Port Gate & Depot Opening Saturdays from 8 March, 2025

Kia Ora,

Due to the current seasonal demand, the Port’s Western Gates and Thames 1 & 2 Depots will open on Saturdays from 8th March 2025.

We will monitor volumes each week and confirm when demand falls below the required levels which will trigger the end to seasonal Saturday receivals.

The Thames 1 Depot will close an hour later than Napier Port to ensure you have enough time to pick up your last empties before closing at 1300hrs.
