Busy month coming up

Eastland Port's shipping schedule indicates the port will host a dozen log ships in March. The first of the line-up this month is the African Warbler, pictured, which has been loading for a day or two. The Warbler will sail on Friday, with 11 others expected between now and the African Dove on March 23. The port will also handle two consignments of kiwifruit for Zespri this month — the Solent Star first on March 10, and then the Star Spirit on March 18.
