Development completed at Port of Tauranga

A US$2.1m upgrade of the MetroPort Auckland inland port operation, jointly run with Toll NZ, and numerous improvements at its Sulphur Point Container Terminal are understood to be delivering significant customer service and productivity benefits to the Port of Tauranga. The developments were required to enable the port company to accommodate continuing growth in its container throughput, with the now monthly volumes of 30,000 TEUs moving through Sulphur Point said to be ” significantly ahead” of volumes of just a year ago.
