Rehabilitated 41 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 See the net work and miles he could have achieved for less than the price - The Manukau sewerage treatment plant and the wasted funds with browns Is. Nearly 2 billion pounds Like the Sydney harbour bridge built more than 100 years ago. What vision. Island Time and Vorpal Blade 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KM... 775 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 Around 50% of my containers consigned to Auckland actually get off loaded in Tauranga and trained up. If that didn't happen I would have suffered some nasty delays in getting the gear over the last few years. From what I can see it makes no difference to the speed we get our gear whether the ship is tied to a Auckland wharf or a Tauranga wharf when the cranes unload it, strikes and all that crap excluded obviously. The opportunity for Auckland to stop/lose the massive borrowings it's doing and has racked up already plus play for Lens silly train set plus do lots of other good stuff plus owning Northport plus opening Akl's waterfront to Aucklanders is here right now. But it won't happen sadly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fish 556 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 How many user names are we allowed now anyway? Rehabilitated 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 747 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 You are allowed ONE ACCOUNT. It WAS possible to change your "display name" as the user you are referring to has done. It does not change warning points or reputation, its still the same account. I have restricted this 'display name' option as well, now you can't do it without Admin assistance.

wheels 373 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 900 items of farm equipment 4 horses 64 yachts 8 helicopters 1 giraffe 436,346 tonnes of ironsand Ironsand does not come physically come across the Port in Auckland City. 3 cows 6 tanks 95,685 tonnes of bananas Imports and exports Sugar and sugar confectionary Coffee, tea and spices Sugar does not come physically go across the Port either. Fruit, nuts, vegetables and cereals Electronics and electrical equipment Apparel and footwear Toys and sports equipment Beverages, spirits and vinegar Clocks, watches and parts Meat and seafood products Dairy and poultry Plastic and rubber products Furniture and furnishings And even though it is listed as Port of Auckland, it may or may not actually shipped across the actual Port itself. As KM states, it can actually be landed at Tauranga and rail freighted. Seeing as a Container vessel can bring in 10's of thousands of tonnes at a time, all those items you have listed don't add up to very much. In fact, leaving the Sugar and Sand out of it, the rest could have easily fitted onto one Boat. Not really what I would call and economc means of bringing stuff into Auckland.

erice 288 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 seems if the ignore function works even if the user name is changed can't recommend it enough as a filter to remove annoying static Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rehabilitated 41 Posted March 25, 2015 Report Share Posted March 25, 2015 We're talking about used cars and empty shipping containers, that's what POAL import, not consumer goods. Our harbour is not the place to park other countries cast off sh*t - used cars. They must of heard you [ they are tuned to this thread ] because they are demolishing the wharf and they will not be parking cars there during the coming months.. Great work fish.
