Before the opening of Auckland's Harbour Bridge in 1959, access to the North Shore from the City was restricted to transport by ferry.

Some of the early machinery and equipment was imported from Greenock in Scotland; much of this historic equipment remains on site, providing a rich industrial heritage.

Chelsea purchases bulk raw sugar from various sources in the Pacific and Australia, which is brought in by boat and processed and packaged at the Refinery.
