2014 Infographic
Our original container handling infographic was published in March 2015, and depicts port volumes from 2010 to 2014. Though totals have collectively increased, some ports have lost volumes over the past few years. That includes Auckland, which has since conceded the top position to Tauranga as New Zealand's largest port.
