A.P. Moller – Maersk’s integrated cold chain facility at the Ruakura Superhub has been awarded a 6 Star Green Star NZ Design & As-Built rating by the New Zealand Green Building Council (NZGBC).
Green Star is an internationally recognised sustainability rating system that aims to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, constructed, and operated to improve environmental efficiencies.
The Ruakura facility represents Maersk’s major infrastructure investment in New Zealand. It enables customers to seamlessly transfer goods between various transport modes, including rail, road and ocean, along the strategic Auckland-Tauranga trade corridor. Delivered by Apollo Projects, the 18,000m² facility was designed and built with energy efficiency and emissions reduction at its core.
This achievement underscores its dedication to decarbonisation and innovation across both industrial development and supply chain logistics. Cold chain logistics play a vital role in global food supply chains and represent a significant opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It supports its customers in lowering the emissions footprint from production to plate.
