Nearby port proves handy for Meridian Energy’s proposed Ruakākā Energy Park

If, as the saying goes, “it takes a village to raise a child” then Meridian Energy’s proposed  Ruakākā Energy Park can certainly count the local business community as willing villagers.

Northport is just one of the local businesses supporting the development. With construction works under way for the first stage of the energy park, a 100-megawatt battery energy storage system (BESS), all 80 of the imported 20-foot container-sized battery storage units are coming ashore at the port.

New weekly coastal shipping service for Northland

Northland businesses wanting to move freight now have the option of a new weekly container shipping service linking Marsden Point with Tauranga, Auckland and Lyttelton.

Pacifica Shipping has been running fortnightly coastal services from Northport since 2016. The new weekly service ensures much more frequent, efficient connections between Northland and the world, and gives shippers more options to reduce their carbon footprint and improve supply chain resilience and efficiency.
