Following a nine-week trial of Saturday morning receival and delivery (R&D) operations, we unfortunately saw very low uptake – averaging just 16 container movements per Saturday, with three Saturdays recording no movements at all.
Based on this limited demand, we’ve made the decision to cease Saturday R&D from this Saturday, 18 October 2025, and plan to revisit it again in the New Year ahead of the 2026 season.
We remain open to reconsidering Saturday openings on a case-by-case basis if there is sufficient customer interest.

At the United Nations summit meeting in September 2015, world leaders adopted 17 global goals (and 169 targets) as a set of universal goals that aim to address the urgent environmental, political and economic challenges facing our world. These are known as the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
