It is governed by a commercial board of experienced business leaders.CentrePort's trades are growing strongly – vehicle, cruise, fuel and log volumes are up on last year and container volumes are returning to pre-Kaikoura 2016 earthquake levels with the reinstatement of the Thorndon Container Wharf cranes in September 2017.CentrePort facilitates the movement of $15-20 billion of freight (equivalent to about one third of New Zealand's total exports) and 1.3m passengers across the Cook Strait each year , and enables $3.3 billion of exports and imports with international markets . CentrePort's importance extends beyond its Wellington site. Since 2013, CentrePort and KiwiRail have provided a CentreRail service for container shippers through hubs in New Plymouth, Wanganui, Palmerston North, Wairarapa and Marlborough.This provides a cost-effective, reliable connection between central New Zealand importers and exporters and global markets.
