Port of Tauranga

Port Status Update 8 January 2012

Posted on 8th January 2012

We have redeployed monitoring of the port channels, utilising side-scanning sonar and magnetometer sweeping. Ships arriving and departing the Port of Tauranga should exercise extreme caution and maintain a vigilant lookout.

As anchorages off the port are likely to be affected by floating containers and debris, it is recommended that these are not used until further notice. Ships awaiting entry to the port are advised to drift north of Mayor Island.

We will update you directly as the situation evolves.
