Information on Sea Container Hubbing

A transitional facility that hubs (holds) sea containers before they are sent to the nominated TF for unpacking/devanning must be authorised to do so.

Biosecurity New Zealand are taking applications now, and these close on the 30th of September.

When applying for approval, the following needs to be sent to container.hubbing@mpi.govt.nz:

  • operating manual describing procedures that the TF, operator, authorised persons, and relevant staff will follow to meet the required conditions for hubbing of sea containers
  • site plan showing the area where hubbed containers will be placed and held securely.
