[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Port Taranaki is centrally located on the west coast of the North Island.

It offers nine fully serviced berths for a wide variety of cargoes and vessels and provides an official maximum draught of 10 metres which may be exceeded by arrangement. In terms of freight tonnes handled, Port Taranaki is New Zealand's second largest export port and fifth largest port overall.

Port Taranaki has the ability to handle a wide diversity of cargoes including all forms of bulk products (liquid and dry), break-bulk products (palletised or containerised, general and refrigerated) and has specialist experience in the handling of heavy lift and project cargoes. All wharves are supported by covered and open storage areas.

An unusual feature of the port is that it has a beach within its breakwaters adjacent to its operational area. The popularity of Ngamotu Beach is testament to Port Taranaki's commitment to safe working practices and regard for the environment.

* Nine fully serviced berths
* Capable of handling a diversity of cargoes
* Special expertise in 'heavy lift' operations
