Ferry Replacement Update

Join us for an in-person (and online) industry update where we'll dive into all the latest on the Interislander ferry replacement programme. It's your chance to hear from Ferry Holdings - the entity leading the procurement and delivery of the new ferries and associated port infrastructure.

Representatives from Interislander, Bluebridge, and Port Marlborough will also be attending to provide an update on managing demand with only four vessels.

Get the latest updates, ask questions, and see how the Cook Strait connection will operate through to 2029 and beyond.

Whether you're a transport operator, freight customer, or an affected local, this event's for you!

The 12pm-1pm presentation will be followed by a light lunch and refreshments.

This event is proudly supported by NZI and AutoSense NZ.
