CentrePort Wellington, Cargo and cruise port in Wellington, New Zealand.

CentrePort Wellington is a cargo and cruise terminal that handles containers, bulk shipments, and passenger vessels. The facility spans multiple wharf areas along the harbor, providing services for commercial shipping and tourism operations.

The Wellington Harbour Board ran the port until the Port Companies Act 1988 and the Local Government Act 1989 ended it; operational assets passed in 1989 to a company called Port of Wellington, owned by the Greater Wellington and Horizons regional councils. It became Port Wellington in 1997 and CentrePort in May 1999, a name chosen because the port sits at the centre of New Zealand. Container cranes arrived in the early 1970s, and two twin-lift cranes replaced them in 2006.

The name CentrePort, adopted in May 1999, replaced Port Wellington to stress the port's central position in New Zealand. Ferries to Picton and cruise ships berth at wharves leased to Interislander and StraitNZ, so the waterfront is where many travellers first meet the country.

CentrePort's wharves lie along Waterloo Quay, opposite Wellington railway station, with the container terminal at Thorndon. The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake damaged wharves and cranes, and repairs completed in 2022 lengthened the Thorndon container wharf from 125m to 262m. Ferry services to Picton are leased wharf facilities, so check with Interislander or StraitNZ for access and timing.

The container terminal dates from the early 1970s, when the Wellington Harbour Board built it; by 1979 three container cranes were working there. Two twin-lift cranes arrived in 2006, each able to lift two containers at once, and the last of the original three cranes left service in 2011. The 2016 Kaikōura earthquake disabled the big cranes for ten months, so only ships carrying their own cranes could unload.
