Best of BusinessTodd Dawson and Alan Piper: Napier Port CEO and KiwiRail Executive Manager of Freight Markets on the new logging train from Palmerston North to Hawke’s Bay
Following the closure of the Tangiwai Mill in the Ruapehu District, forestry company Ernslaw One has found a new way to continue production and keep contractors in work.
They've struck a deal with KiwiRail and Napier Port where log trains now run five days a week on the Napier-Palmerston North line, dropping off 600 tonnes of logs to Napier Port.
It removes 21 logging trucks off the road.
Napier Port CEO Todd Dawson and KiwiRail Executive Manager of Freight Markets Alan Piper unpacked the benefits of this deal.
