With a specialised tug and drive on/drive off services, we ensure your trailer units are efficiently loaded and transported.

Our three ferries – Kaiarahi, Kaitaki and the rail-enabled Aratere have the capacity to get your goods to market.

We offer 12 sailings every day, including one overnight sailing each way. There are dangerous goods capable sailings each day.
