Project - Plan for Integrated Break Bulk and Container Operations

In the Port of Tauranga, New Zealand, two competing forest products companies were asked to shift their operations to a new terminal site where they would co-exist with a new container terminal. Our clients were the two forest companies, NZPF Pulp and Paper Pty Ltd. and Tasman Pulp and Paper Pty Ltd. Questions to be investigated included:

	Question: What would be the cost of building and operating the new facilities for each company and what would be the return for each company?
	Result: A double blind benefit/cost study was prepared in two parts, private to each company.

	Question: Would there be large cost savings if the two competing companies operated out of the same storage facilities?
	Result: A computer simulation of joint compared with separated operations was conducted to determine the answer.

	Question: Would there be significant disruption to container shipping schedules on berths shared by container ships and by break bulk ships?
	Result: A computer simulation of vessel operations for the proposed joint facility was carried out.
