Hon MICHAEL WOOD: The insights provided in this initial report by independent consultants from Pacific Marine Management, commissioned by Waka Kotahi, will help to decide how best to invest the $30 million of funding that has been earmarked for coastal shipping in the 2021 to 2024 National Land Transport Programme. The key recommendations include enhancing domestic shipping services with new services, increased frequencies, and additional ships for new or existing container and bulk services; reducing shipping emissions through testing emerging technologies; improving efficiency with upgrades to rail or road links to and from ports; and, finally, upgrading maritime infrastructure, including shore power connections at ports, small new regional ports, and expanding existing ports.
