Our proposal

Please see our Long Term Plan Amendment Consultation Document

We’re proposing to create a new joint-venture company with MMH and Northport, together with investment partners Port of Tauranga and Tupu Tonu (Ngāpuhi Investment Fund Ltd).

This will set Northport up for the future by simplifying MMH’s ownership structure, combining the port and land-based assets and bring full control of Northport under a single ownership umbrella, and ensure half of the shareholding is held here in Te Taitokerau.

This proposed change relates to the ownership and control of one of our strategic assets, so requires an amendment to Te Mahere Roa – Long Term Plan 2024-2034.

Give us your feedback

Tell us what you think: *

Do it (our proposal): Create a new joint-venture company with Marsden Maritime Holdings and Northport, together with Port of Tauranga and Tupu Tonu. Amend the Long Term Plan to enable this change to our strategic asset.

Don’t do it: Keep the status quo - Don’t make any changes and retain 56.3% shareholding in the current entity that is MMH. Don’t amend the Long Term Plan.

None of the above
