Northport

Northport, situated at Marsden Point at the mouth of Whangarei Harbour, is New Zealand's northernmost deep-water port. It is a flexible facility catering for large, multi-purpose vessels and full cargo handling facilities are available from its 570-metre linear berth. Logs, woodchip and processed timber for export comprise the bulk of cargo handled... by the port. Recent investment in container handling equipment has seen an uptake in coastal and international container trade. Other export items include kiwifruit, dairy products and manufactured goods. Imports are an important part of Northport's 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.Read More
