Port Marlborough NZ

We operate the region's port and marinas, and facilitate the operation and growth of some of Marlborough's most significant industries, including recreational boating, forestry, fishing, marine farming, and domestic and international tourism, including cruise. The port provides the South Island terminal for Cook Strait passenger and freight ferries at Picton, it operates New Zealand's deepest export shipping berth at Waimahara Wharf in Shakespeare Bay, and a multipurpose berth at Waitohi Wharf in Picton Harbour. Picton is a busy cruise ship port, and is able to accommodate the world's largest class of cruise vessel in Shakespeare Bay. A significant part of our operation is Marlborough Sounds Marinas - New Zealand's largest marina operator outside of Auckland, which comprises of three marinas including Picton, Waikawa and Havelock. The marinas provide facilities including marina berths, boatsheds and secure compound parking for over 1,500 vessels. The extension of Waikawa Marina has now begun and is on track for completion in 2022, and will provide an additional 251 berths with quick access to the Queen Charlotte Sound. Port Marlborough has two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Waikawa Marina Trustee Limited and PMNZ Marina Holdings Limited, both of which were established to facilitate the sale of long-term berth entitlements in the Waikawa Marina Trust area in the 1990's. We've embarked on a journey to evolve our more traditional infrastructure focused port business to a designed, sustainable operation; a best-in-class specialist port. This means realigning priorities and encouraging new thinking and behaviours to evolve as an organisation. We've worked with our people to develop a clear expression of what matters to us and how we think, operate, act and interact - between ourselves, with our customers, with our communities and with other stakeholders. One thing is clear to us: Port Marlborough's legacy in our province runs deep. Our physical, operational and economic presence in the geography and communities of Picton, Waikawa, Havelock and the wider Sounds make a real difference to environmental, social and economic outcomes for these places and their people. The port supports the success of others - our business and recreational customers, iwi, communities, industry stakeholders and our shareholder. We recognise the beauty and importance of the Marlborough Sounds environment and the way it has supported our people, lifestyle and economy over centuries - It's vital that we protect our unique environment to sustain future generations.
