Port of Napier Limited

Napier Port has been connecting Hawke’s Bay and its surrounding regions with the people and markets of the world for over 150 years.

Located on the East Coast of New Zealand, we are the gateway for the central and lower North Island’s exports and operate a long-term regional infrastructure asset that supports the regional economy. We employ over 300 people directly and our operations indirectly support many thousands of jobs and businesses across the region.

Napier Port (legally known as Port of Napier Ltd) is 100% owned by Napier Port Holdings. 55% of Napier Port Holdings is owned by the Hawke’s Bay Regional Investment Company, and 45% is listed on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, where our investors include both institutional and ‘mum and dad’ investors.

Napier Port is on the main transit route for international shipping services, is connected to inland freight hubs and core national road and rail networks, operating 24 hours a day, 364 days a year. Annually, we handle over 5m tonnes of cargo over our wharves and welcome more than 130,000 cruise visitors to Hawke's Bay.

While our strategic location and cargo-handling capacity make us a key connection in New Zealand’s supply chain, it’s our culture and service that are the foundation to our success. We take pride in delivering for our customers, building collaborative relationships, supporting the local community and looking after our marine environment.

Our future success is forged side by side with the success of our customers and our community. Collectively, we can drive growth that benefits our region, our people and our environment.
