PBT Couriers launched new Tracking Technology: PBT Map-it
SH1, railway near Kaikoura closed
State Highway 1 and the railway line near Kaikoura will remain closed until at least Thursday, as contractors work to clear 20,000 cubic metres of rock, dirt and debris dumped across the road and railway by a massive slip on Friday night.
The slip just south of Kaikoura has lead to major delays to the PBT linehaul network. Due to being diverted up the Lewis pass means an extra 2 hours and 15 minutes travelling time from Christchurch to Picton each way. Strait shipping have changed their 0200 sailing back to 0300 to allow us to continue our service standard from the South Island into the North Island. The return trucks from the North Island are now being delayed up to 4 hours into Christchurch and therefore delays in deliveries are happening. We expect at this stage the PBT linehaul will return to normal schedules Thursday night.

Albany Mega Centre Repairs May 24th-28th
Memo to: Farmers, Animates, Ezibuy, Shanton, Briscoes.
Hello Everyone,
Unfortunately it has become necessary to excavate an area at the beginning of the service lane from the Fire Sprinkler Control room across to the edge of Briscoes.
The Centre is experiencing water pressure drops in the fire sprinkler system and subsequent investigations lead us to believe there is a leak in the pipe work under the driveway.
This work will limit access to the rear of the premises of Farmers, Animates, Ezibuy and Shanton. .
Subject to final confirmation work is planned to commence on 24th May and should be completed by the 28th of May. During this time access to your loading areas will be affected.
Sorry for the inconvenience but we request that for that week all deliveries which utilise the lane are made before 10.00am; and that you notify your delivery companies accordingly.
It will also affect the area where Briscoes have placed pallets and rubbish skips, so these will need to be relocated for the week concerned.
Thank you,
Kay
