The Port of Auckland has many natural advantages which make it ideally positioned to serve importers and exporters.
Most important is our proximity to Auckland, with three strategically placed ports in New Zealand’s commercial and manufacturing heartland. Auckland is New Zealand’s business hub and largest regional economy, providing Ports of Auckland’s customers with easy access to nearly a third of the country’s population and to road, rail and coastal shipping services that connect with the rest of the country.
Auckland also has a natural deep water harbour which, following recent channel deepening, has the ability to cater for the next generation of super-sized container ships.
A long planning horizon helps to ensure Ports of Auckland can keep pace with growing trade volumes. Our 2008 Port Development Plan provides a view through to 2040 of how we plan to expand our capacity.
Our staff have the experience and expertise to produce outstanding results and provide customers with the best service possible. A full range of planners, controllers, supervisors, stevedores, engineers and support staff work around the clock to turn ships and move cargo fast and efficiently.
Customers also benefit from a world-class suite of on-port technology systems and a growing range of e-commerce products that provide real time transparency over cargo movements.
Ports of Auckland is the logical choice for shipping lines and cargo-owners looking for a New Zealand hub, proximity to Auckland and efficient, flexible supply chain solutions.
