New era for New Zealand freight
In August 2013, Port of Tauranga entered into a strategic alliance with PrimePort Timaru that heralded a new era for New Zealand freight. As part of this alliance, Port of Tauranga acquired the container terminal operating assets of PrimePort and set up a new Port of Tauranga Limited wholly owned subsidiary, Timaru Container Terminal.
This alliance with PrimePort allowed South Island exporters and importers to benefit from a large number of international services that call at Tauranga, share the significant freight savings from the introduction of larger vessels, and benefit from Port of Tauranga’s container terminal expertise and world class productivity.
