the new board – due to be established

Project general manager
Blair Morris says enquiry
is coming chiefly from
major warehousing and
distribution businesses
looking to relocate outside of
Auckland, including significant
players in food and beverage
processing. Due to demand,
Morris says the project is moving
along faster than predicted, and is
expected to be totally completed
within 30 years - two decades less
than the company’s initial estimate
of 50 years. “We forecast up to 2.6
million TEUs (twenty foot equivalent
container units) would be moving
by 2044,” he says. “However, the
pace of growth is ahead of forecast
as the two major North Island ports
are already moving circa 2.2 million
TEUs, only four years on from the
forecast.” The first 6ha of stage one
is underway and, when completely
finished, the port will be able to
handle a million TEUs per year, and
is expected to be home to more
than 10,000 employees and 4500
