Port of Napier

Port of Napier, Maritime transportation hub in Hawke's Bay Region, New Zealand.

Port of Napier is a shipping and cargo facility on the coast of the Hawke's Bay Region that connects local commerce with international trade routes. The facility features modern terminals and wharves that regularly handle vessels from around the world and process various types of cargo.

A public poll in January 1885 decided to move the port from the Ahuriri spit to its present site beneath Bluff Hill, and the breakwater harbour was completed in 1886. A container depot opened in 1994, and a new wharf, the port's largest single investment at about NZ$175 million, became operational in June 2022 and was officially opened the following month.

The port's name recalls Ahuriri, the spit where the harbour stood before the January 1885 public poll moved it beneath Bluff Hill. The Ahuriri Branch rail line still links the wharves to the national network, and the old Ahuriri port site is remembered in the name of that branch.

Napier Port is a working commercial port beneath Bluff Hill, not a site open to visitors; cargo and cruise operations take place in restricted areas. The port is linked to the rail network by the Napier Port Branch, also called the Ahuriri Branch. Expansion and larger vessels have increased noise, which Bluff Hill residents have protested since noise mitigation agreed in 2016 fell behind operations.

The port is one of the largest timber shipping points in New Zealand and processes huge volumes of logs from the region's forests each year. The frequent arrival of specialized log ships makes this an especially interesting place to watch cargo operations unfold.
