Christchurch Earthquake Update
28-02-2011
Good morning all
We hope all customers and their families are safe and well.
The SB team are safe and many staff have returned to work today to assist with some clean up work and prepare for our first full day of operation on Monday 28th February. Some staff do not have homes, power or water so we will continue to accommodate and assist staff where need be during this tough time.
Our Freight Forwarding business is partially operational today however we will only be collecting or delivering today if it is for emergency supplies to the city as we’ve been instructed to remain off the roads unless it is critical. From Monday 28th Feb we will be fully operational and will collect or deliver all cargo outside the cordoned CBD area however expect traffic delays.
Our Logistics business is in clean-up mode today and we plan to be fully operational from Monday 28th Feb. There are obvious safety precautions taking place at present around the high racking in our logistics business which will mean possible delays in picking orders from Monday.
Both our Airport and Waterloo buildings have been checked by structural engineers and have been given a “green light” to commence business.
We have spoken to our key suppliers and all of them are operational with various delays due to limited resources and infrastructure restrictions.
- Flights to/from Christchurch Airport are now operating however there will be delays while emergency suppliers take priority over general cargo. There is also a backlog of cargo from earlier in the week that will take priority.
- Lyttelton Port is expected to be operational with incoming containers being received from Monday 28th Feb however expect delays. Export LCL/FCL departures have been delayed for a week.
- PBT Transport and NZ Couriers are operating however emergency supplies are taking priority over general cargo so expect delays
Our team are on hand today if you have any questions so please feel free to contact us on Ph 358 7850. You’re also welcome to contact Hodaka Aoyagi anytime on 021 574 923 or Steve Bateman on 021 327 951.

JSP recently launched new Logistics products and are now capable of handling Japanese importers and exporters needs by express freight, air or sea freight.
New company geared to Japanese Logistics needs.
22-05-2007
An increasing demand for New Zealand and Australian products, has helped to drive the setting up of a new niche company to assist with the efficient delivery of freight for Japanese consumers.
JSP Logistics Ltd (Formerly Japan Speed Pack NZ Ltd) will be launched on 1st June 2007. An associate company of the New Zealand based S B Global Logistics, this niche entity has expanded it network recently opening an office in Tokyo. It has established offices in Brisbane and Christchurch which have offered export freight services to Japanese customers since 1990. Employing Japanese staff has been a key point of difference as it enables a direct focus and understanding on the needs of the customers.
Koichi Watanabe, Managing Director, will oversee the company’s Japanese activities from its base in Tokyo. A full range of Logistics service products will be offered, including JSP Japan Speed Pack, which provides a door-to-door delivery service of souvenirs and gifts that Japanese tourists buy during visits to New Zealand.
Stephen Bateman, a Director of JSP Logistics, said we have worked with exporters to design and create safe packaging for a range of goods that are travelling and ensuring these goods arrive in pristine condition. There’s been a significant increase in the popularity of New Zealand and Australian wines and we have a specialised product in JSP Wine Logistics that delivers real value for the customers.” Whether it is a small bottle or case of wine to a sea freight container we can handle right to the customers door.”
Another major aspect of the new business is identifying importers and exporters who are aiming to supply or buy from markets in New Zealand and Australia. They will be encouraged to move goods through JSP Logistics, which will take care of all warehousing, transport, tracking of goods and Customs requirements.
The company has a combined wealth of knowledge and experience dealing with Japanese visitors, who have traditionally been using their door-to-door service for the delivery of their New Zealand and Australian purchases, such as rugby jerseys, health-based skincare products, honey and merino clothing.
Mr Bateman said that there was growing competition and a real need for Logistics solutions and that the company has identified a way to broaden the services they could offer for both commercial clients and tourists. Having our own Japanese experts on the ground in NZ and Australia has given us a spring board to launch our business and increased our capability to offer more diversified range of product services to our customers.
“Our Japanese employees understand the service expectations of the customers they are dealing with and are focusing only on that market.”
Other JSP products include mail order, air and sea freight forwarding, contract warehouse and distribution.
