Final figures for export trade through Eastland Port last month show a total of 273,042 tonnes of logs shipped from Gisborne in July.
The wood went overseas on 11 ships during a month when loading was disrupted by bad weather.
The cart-in rate of logs trucked into the port storage
area has gone back up to around 13,000-plus tonnes a day.
The logger Berge Shari, which is alongside the wharf loading, should sail tomorrow.
Seven more log ships are scheduled to call here between now and August 18.
