Coastal shipping is the most environmentally friendly mode for moving heavy freight in New Zealand.

Shipping carries approximately 90% of global freight by volume but produces only 5% of total C02 emissions. Moving your cargo via coastal shipping will help New Zealand achieve mandated cargo emission targets.

Moving cargo on the ‘Blue Highway’ is up to 8 times more fuel efficient than road transport and nearly twice as efficient as rail on a tonne per kilometer basis.

For New Zealand environmental integrity, coastal shipping is a safe and sustainable way to move long-haul freight, in addition to helping reduce congestion and road infrastructure investment.
