6 Wharf will future-proof our port, allow us to handle more and larger ships, and improve operational performance.
Over the past 10 years* we have experienced solid growth in container volumes and bulk cargo exports. We’ve also seen growth in the number of cruise ships visiting our shores. We need to build 6 Wharf to support this growth.
50% more containers
94% more cruise ships
64% more bulk cargo
HEB Construction started building the wharf in early 2020
We appointed a main contractor, HEB Construction, to build the multi-purpose wharf. HEB started construction during the first quarter of 2020 (calendar year). Read more about our construction and dredging programme.
Building sustainably and in partnership
We’re dedicated to ensuring the project is the best it can be for our economy, community and environment.
Our work is guided by best practice management plans and we’re working in partnership with stakeholders, including mana whenua and the fisheries community, to protect cultural, recreational and environmental values.
