Wellington’s identity and prosperity is inextricably linked to the port.
Wellington didn’t start out as New Zealand’s Capital City.
It was named the Capital because our trading partners told us Wellington’s harbour and central location suited them best.
Then and now, central New Zealand’s economic prosperity relies on successful trade routes to overseas markets, which means an efficient supply chain here at home.
2013: 90,616 TEU
