Community

Port Scholarship


The Port touches the lives of thousands of people throughout the region and plays a pivotal role
within its wider community.

We have a long history of developing our business in partnership with the local community, our staff,
service providers and customers.

This is reflected in a strong culture of social and environmental responsibility and our
Company values - Innovation, Communication, Teamwork and Community Focus.
These values guide the way we conduct our business.

Our commitment to the community is shown through our sponsorship of the Port of Tauranga Half Ironman
the New Zealand Dotterels, the Tauranga Arts Festival and other environmental and social initiatives.

We also offer support to the Bay of Plenty community in fields such as sporting events, education,
the environment and business promotion, acknowledging our role within the wider community. 

Port Tours

A guided port tour is a unique opportunity to gain an insight into New Zealand’s largest and most efficient port, incorporating marine, bulk cargo, and container handling facilities.

The 2012 season ran from Monday 23 January through to Tuesday 31 January and was extremely popular, with almost 1,000 people taking a tour.   

Look out for our advertising in the local papers and Community Notices on Classic Hits later in the year for next year's dates. If you missed out this year, remember to book early!
