The loading of Lyttelton’s first wood-chip shipment this year began at first light yesterday. Using the Lyttelton Harbour Board’s hulk-loading facility at Cashin Quay, chips will be poured into the hold of the Marusumi Maru in continuous loading, which is expected to be completed by Friday. Of the four chip shipments to leave Lyttelton
since bulk chip exports began early last year, the Marusumi Maru has taken three.
The Marusumi Maru arrived at Lyttelton in ballast from Peru early yesterday morning and is expected to load about 14,000 tonnes of chips. One more shipment is expected this year, of 28,000 tonnes, in December.
