Moturoa Wharf
Serviced by road and with easy access to two laydown areas totalling 20,000m2, Moturoa Wharf is a multipurpose wharf used for dry bulk cargo, cement, cruise vessels and project cargo.
There are two shipping berths on Moturoa Wharf:

- Moturoa 2: 222m long and a maximum bollard capacity of 70 tonnes. This berth is our primary bulk cargo berth.
ShoreTension is available on both berths.
Moturoa Wharf is also home to our fleet of tugs at our dedicated tug berth Moturoa 3.
Maximum berth axle capacities
- Moturoa 1 and 2: 9.5 tonnes
- Moturoa 3: 4.5 tonnes

If you are unsure of the axle loads your vehicle is carrying, please weigh it on a weighbridge before accessing Moturoa Wharf.
