Deloitte New Zealand has released the New Zealand Ports and Freight Yearbook 2026, providing an annual, data-driven view of how the country’s ports and freight system are performing.
The Ports and Freight Yearbook provides a snapshot of domestic port and freight activity alongside a range of topical thought leadership articles from across Deloitte’s strategy team.
This year's edition highlights key themes from the 2025 Parliamentary inquiry into the ports and maritime sector, developments in debt capital markets, the status of international maritime decarbonisation efforts, the strategic role of rail in strengthening supply chain resilience, insights from Deloitte’s global future of freight group and economic perspectives from Deloitte Access Economics.
New Zealand’s ports and wider supply chain operate in an increasingly complex global and domestic environment, while continuing to face heightened expectations around financial performance, resilience, and productivity.
