Port Open Day

We are excited to share the Port Open Day 2020 with you. It is an opportunity for you to find out more about the South Port operation.

South Port 

We are Southland’s only NZX-listed Company and we’d like to share with you what that looks like from on the ground.This family friendly event has a range of tours and demonstrations on hand during the day.The first 500 online registrations will go in the draw for one of five double passes for a tug boat experience to see what it is like working alongside a large vessel as it comes into the Port (which will take place at a later date).<h3>On the day</h3>Please arrive 30 minutes prior to tour departure at Foreshore Road carpark to allow for registration/check-in and on boarding tours – tours will be departing sharp.Should the weather be against us on the day, the crane and forklift may not be able to operate as we have safe working parameters that need to be adhered to.Tugs available subject to marine activity on the day.

<h3>About South Port</h3>South Port New Zealand Ltd (South Port) is the southernmost commercial port in New Zealand, located at Bluff and operating on a year-round, 24-hour basis. It is situated in the rich productive province of Southland, which is responsible for generating a sizeable proportion of New Zealand’s total exports by value. The region’s major cargo producing sites are situated within 30 to 80 kms of the Port.The Port of Bluff has been operating since 1877, while the Company was formed in 1988 having taken over the assets and liabilities of the former Southland Harbour Board. South Port was listed on the NZ Stock Exchange (NZX) in 1994 and has Environment Southland, the region’s local government environmental agency, as its 66% majority shareholder.South Port established its off-port Intermodal Freight Centre (IFC) in July 2016. Strategically located adjacent to the KiwiRail railhead in Invercargill, the IFC allows importers and exporters in the Southland and Otago regions to distribute their products in a timely and efficient manner.
