Ports of Auckland
Ports of Auckland's international seaport is situated on the Waitemata Harbour, close to Auckland's CBD. As a hub for much of New Zealand's international trade and the country's premier cruise port, Ports of Auckland plays an important role in supporting the city's ongoing prosperity.
Ports of Auckland is New Zealand's largest export and import port by value, handling $26.4b of trade annually, around 900,000 TEU (20ft-equivalent container units), more than 1,500 ship calls and 3.5 million tonnes of break-bulk (non-containerised) cargo per annum. Ports of Auckland is 100%-owned by Auckland Council Investments Limited.
To learn more about your port, join one of Ports of Auckland's free boat tours of the port and harbour, or, check out the new waterfront walkway on the eastern edge of the Fergusson container terminal. Visit www.poal.co.nz for details.
