  • Metroport Inland Port, New Zealand
    39 5 MetroPort Inland Port, New Zealand 5.1 Port of Tauranga 5.1.1 Ownership structure, location and history The Port of Tauranga, situated at Mount Maunganui on New Zealand’s North Island, emerged in the mid 1950s, mainly servicing the fledgling log export industry. As time has passed, the port has also played a major role in the export of locally produced dairy products and fruit. Much of this business was in conventional ships until the creation of the Sulphur Point container facility in the mid 1990s, when a two crane facility was opened. Its position near Auckland means Tauranga is the second largest container handling port in the country, with recent growth occurring as a result of decisions by shipping companies to use its intermodal MetroPort facility and a policy change by the dairy industry to use ports that are near to the product source. The port is quoted on the NZ Stock Exchange, with 45 per cent of its shares publicly tradable. The remainder are held by a local regional council under a nominee company. Throughput sees Tauranga handling 23 per cent of the nation’s containers (Auckland 45 per cent), 30 per cent of export tonnage (10 per cent) and 12 per cent of import tonnage (22 per cent). Tauranga has also diversified, with a 50/50 joint venture holding in the timber export port of Northport and an advisory input to the Port of Marlborough. 5.1.2 Driving forces According to the Business Development Manager at the Port of Tauranga: In the 1960s and 1970s the New Zealand container terminals were established in the four main commercial centres at that time – Auckland, Wellington, Lyttleton and Dunedin.
