PBT has over the past several months been developing our strategy around becoming a more sustainable business. Please watch the video below to get an update from our CEO on the journey so far.
NZ WideDangerous Goods Sailings - Block Out December 2022 - January 2023
Dangerous Goods are prohibited from travelling across the Cook Strait on the following dates: • Saturday 17th December –Monday 9th January 2023 (inclusive) • DGLQ Can still travel PBT strongly recommends that if you are needing to move DG consignments in December that you plan well ahead and move your freight much earlier than the cut-off dates noted above. Space is at a premium during the busy peak period and it is common that there is less space on the ferries than there is freight to move.

PBT is embarking on an exciting journey to a more sustainable future. Last week we launched a trial in Christchurch for a fully electric truck, please take a look at the video for more information on this exciting initiative.
NZ WideVFC Timing Update
The purpose of this customer advice is to inform you of a change PBT is making to the VFC% timing in order to manage increased fuel price volatility. PBT currently uses the MBIE price for diesel from the previous month to determine the VFC% for the following month (e.g. January MBIE prices determine March VFC%). Due to the current pace of fuel price volatility, which we expect to continue for the foreseeable future, the true fuel cost used to provide our services in a given week are now significantly out of step with the VFC% charged for those services.
