Terminal dispute heats up

Ports of Auckland has been named as a defendant in the dispute between Port of Tauranga and NZL Group over the latter’s right to establish a terminal operation at Sulphur Point.

Port of Tauranga chief executive Mark Cairns says “serious questions” need to be answered regarding the role of its bitter geographic rival.

“Port of Tauranga is concerned that claims being advanced by NZL are in fact being driven by and for the benefit of Ports of Auckland,” he said.
