Marlborough Inland Port enters operational phase as product moves in

Honomai, Marlborough Inland Port, has officially transitioned from development to operations, with product now being stored on-site in the
warehouse and container operations underway.

While Honomai’s opening was marked earlier this year, the arrival of product into the warehouse in April signaled the start of the facility beginning to contribute to freight efficiency and regional logistics performance.

Located in Riverlands, Blenheim, Honomai was developed to ease freight movement between Marlborough exporters and Port Nelson’s coastal shipping operations, as well as alternative routes. Honomai forms part of a broader long-term strategy by Port Nelson to strengthen connections across Te Tauihu, with investments aimed at supporting forecast freight growth while easing congestion at Port Nelson's Patterson Logistics Centre.

QuayConnect also launched its supply chain visibility tool Pelorus in June.

Optimised to enhance customer experience, Pelorus gives customers real-time insights into order status, inventory management, and product tracking across the supply chain.
