General Container Freight
Your standard freight, shipped anywhere.
We move goods around New Zealand
Our national rail network and Interislander ferries make it easy to move your freight domestically, including across the Cook Strait.
If it's non-hazardous, properly packaged, and fits in a freight container, it qualifies. That’s goods on pallets, cartons, retail products, machinery, and commercial stock – the full range of standard cargo.
We can also help you to move your goods offshore
KiwiRail carries 26% of New Zealand's exports and moves more than 19 million tonnes of freight every year – so you're in good company.
We know ports.
Whatever container volumes you're moving through the port, we're set up to handle them. Our freight hubs at key locations around the country can accommodate small or large loads – collecting, staging and moving your goods efficiently by rail, road and sea.
Working to your schedule.
When your imports arrive, you need them cleared and distributed fast. When you're exporting, missing deadlines isn't an option. We operate time-critical services linking the country's busiest ports to all main centres, keeping freight moving and on schedule.
