Coastal Shipping Cargo

In August 2004 port companies were approached to supply data about shipping cargo moving across their wharves for the financial year 2003/04. The Minister of Transport at that time, Hon Pete Hodgson, sought this information for the government to gain a better understanding about the carriage of coastal cargo around New Zealand by both overseas and New Zealand shipping.

The Coastal Shipping Cargo report (PDF v7.0, 145kb) sets out the main findings from shipping cargo data supplied by port companies in New Zealand. The aggregated data from port companies is set out at the end of the report.
