AUTOHUB recently became aware that a certain Stevedore Company at Auckland Port, took it on itself to use a forklift to move approx. 37 vehicles just a few metres by forklift. We investigated, obtained video evidence, and found that the Stevedors acted negligently, without due care, and totally inappropriately. We find no excuse whatsoever to use forklifts on ports for fully mobile vehicles, and consequently we are seeking damages from the company in question.
We have the full support of Ports of Auckland and Shipping Companies.
Only some of the vehicles concerned were shipped by AUTOHUB, and about 30 units were shipped by other logistics suppliers. We have no knowledge of compensation being sought by those other providers.
All of AUTOHUB customers affected have been notified, and claims for damage are being actioned.
