LOG exports at Eastland Port resumed on Monday after heavy seas in Poverty Bay and a surge in the harbour prevented loading operations for three days.
The strong southerly swell got up to 5.5 metres out in the Bay at times over the weekend.
“The log ship Jerico Beach tookon part of its load last week before it left the port on Thursday and went to anchor out near Young Nicks Head,” a port official said.
Four log ships were at anchor in the bay over the weekend.
“It was pretty unpleasant out there for the crews too, because of the big seas. The Diana came in on Monday and should complete her load of logs at about midday today.
