What you should know about Northport- Ltd
Export cargoes are made up of logs heading to ports in Japan, Korea, China and India, woodchip to Japan, LVL laminated veneer lumber to Australia, packaged timber to the Middle East, triboard and veneer from JNL Kaitaia heading to Japan and the Philippines, kiwifruit to Japan and Europe and bagged cement to Tahiti. Import cargoes are fertiliser from North Africa, clinker from Japan and gypsum from Thevenard, as well as coal from Port Kembla all heading to Portland for Golden Bay Cement works. The Northport facility totals 58 hectares of land, with over 30 hectares now paved and being used for cargo operations
The Northland Harbour Board first proposed a container port facility at Marsden Point in the late 1960’s. Marsden Maritime Holdings entered into a joint venture with Port of Tauranga Ltd in 200 to form Northport Ltd. Northport began trading in July 2002 as the port operating company when it took over the port activities of Marsden Maritime Holdings at both Marsden Point and Port Whangarei.
With the closure of Port Whangarei to commercial shipping, all cargo operations were transferred to Marsden Point. In April 2003, Northport formed a joint venture, North Tugz, with Ports of Auckland to provide Pilotage and Tug services for ships arriving at Marsden Point at Northport’s berths and the New Zealand Refining Company jetties. Northland’s forestry industry was slowly increasing in production and it was the catalyst for the building of the new port. Hydrographic data and environmental information was collected in preparation for Resource Management consents, which were applied for in 1995.
In 200 final consents for a two berth port were granted and construction of the new port facility commenced. In April 2007 all cargo operations were transferred to Marsden Point, which meant the closure of Port Whangarei to commercial shipping. The new berth was completed in October 2007 when it became available for cargo operations. The construction of the fourth berth to the east will not take place until cargo volumes make it viable
