Napier Port Holdings Ltd ( (NZ:NPH) ) has provided an announcement.
Napier Port reported modest overall growth in trade for the half year to 31 March 2026, with total container volumes up 3.5% and bulk cargo volumes down 1.5%, reflecting a consolidation after last year’s strong gains. A strong growing season and favourable conditions drove a 9.2% rise in refrigerated exports, particularly apples and other chilled produce, while dry exports were flat and log exports declined.
Containerised imports climbed 12.9%, led by a near 20% jump in empty container inflows as equipment was repositioned ahead of export demand, and container ship calls increased to 131 from 124. Cruise activity softened sharply, with vessel calls falling to 54 from 77 amid weaker cruise tourism in Australia and New Zealand, though larger ships lifted passengers per call, while bulk imports rose on higher fertiliser volumes, partially offsetting weaker log cargoes.
