Annual Report

The report describes a challenging year for South Port, with total cargo volumes down 7.7%, while container volumes increased 24.5%. The company completed its Bluff Harbour channel dredging project in September 2023, enabling deeper vessel drafts. It also reports that a 20-year electricity agreement secured the future of the Tiwai Point smelter, supporting stability for a significant share of port cargo. Environmental work included monitoring after dredging and developing a sustainability strategy; the company's first climate-related disclosures were still due to be published after the reporting period.
