Great news for exporters - unless it is just another service price gouging (hopefully it is a mix of lines and not just the Danish-based). The experts say that there is too many ports in NZ and probably is - but do lack the infrastructure and ability to quickly, cheaply and easily move product to/from port. But with Fonterra Clandeboyne, Fonterra Studholme, SFF Pareora, Alliance Smithfield, Alliance Pukeri, Oceania Dairy etc in the area, then would think there is a good outwards volume (and a bit less to go via Lyttelton and Port Chalmers). No idea about imports.....;)
