Gateway to the North

Northport is a flexible facility catering for large, multi-purpose vessels. Full cargo-handling facilities are available from our 570m linear berth. Logs, woodchip and processed timber for export comprise the bulk of cargo handled by the port. Since the introduction of container handling equipment we have enabled both coastal and international container trade. Other export items include kiwifruit, dairy products and manufactured goods. Imports are an important part of our business and include fertiliser, gypsum, coal and palm kernel. The port is owned and operated by Northport Ltd, itself owned jointly and equally by Marsden Maritime Holdings Ltd and the Port of Tauranga Ltd.
