JOINT MEDIA RELEASE
26 March 2020
PORT OF TAURANGA AND KOTAHI EXTEND STRATEGIC ALLIANCE
New Zealand’s largest containerised freight exporter, Kotahi and New Zealand’s international
cargo gateway Port of Tauranga today announced an extension to their long-term volume
commitment agreement.
The renewed agreement extends Kotahi’s commitment to Port of Tauranga for an additional
seven years, through to mid-2031. Kotahi manages freight on behalf of more than 40 of New
Zealand’s importers and exporters, including its shareholders Fonterra and Silver Fern Farms.
Port of Tauranga Chief Executive, Mark Cairns, says the collaboration between the two
companies gives the Port the confidence to invest further in expanding its container terminal.
“We look forward to continuing our highly productive relationship with Kotahi,” he says.
Kotahi’s Chief Executive, David Ross, says the collaboration with Port of Tauranga has
brought significant benefits to New Zealand, including a more sustainable and resilient supply
chain with efficient big ships.
“We are delighted to support Port of Tauranga’s future development programme with the
commitment of cargo volume through to 2031.”
