CargoMaster: Your Trusted Shipping Partner for Napier, New Zealand! Sea Freight Shipping, Container Terminal Services, and More!

Napier, also known as Ahuriri in Māori, is a vibrant city located in the beautiful Hawke’s Bay region on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island. As the 6th largest city in New Zealand (combined with Hastings), Napier boasts a population of approximately 360,000 residents. Known as “The Bay Cities” or “The Twin Cities,” Napier and Hastings offer a unique blend of culture, stunning landscapes, and thriving industries.

Established in the 1870s, Napier Port is the second-largest port in terms of tonnage. Handling around 280,000 containers and over 5 million tonnes of cargo annually, the port serves as a crucial link for New Zealand’s apple, pear, and stone fruit exports from the Hastings area. In addition, Napier Port welcomes approximately 650 vessels each year. It’s worth noting that Napier Port became a listed company on the New Zealand stock exchange in 2019 (NPH).

CargoMaster offers reliable sea freight shipping services to Napier Port’s container terminal. We operate weekly vessel departures from major Australian cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide, ensuring efficient and timely transportation of your goods. Choose between consolidated sea freight (LCL or shared container) or full container loads (FCL) based on your shipping needs.

For consolidated sea freight, CargoMaster collects cargo from clients across all Australian capital cities and transports it to our consolidation yard. We then pack the cargo into containers before shipping them to Tauranga. From there, we provide on-forwarding services to various destinations, including Hastings, Gisborne, Waipawa, Tutira, Mahia, Wairoa, Clifton, Clive, Taupo, Eskdale, and surrounding centers. Our services include customs clearance and door delivery of your consolidated cargo and shipping containers.

If you prefer full container loads, CargoMaster organizes the delivery of shipping containers to almost anywhere in Australia for packing. You can also choose to pack your container in one of our designated packing yards, giving you ample time (12 days) to ensure everything is securely loaded. We offer various container types, including 20ft and 40ft containers, high cube containers, and 20 and 40 ft flat racks, to accommodate all your shipping requirements.

At CargoMaster, we handle a wide range of commodities, from mining machinery, construction equipment, and vehicles to household goods, personal effects, and machinery of all sizes. Whether you opt for our Door to Port or Door to Door service, we ensure a smooth shipping experience for your containers to New Zealand.

Napier, known for its sunny climate, stunning coastal vistas, and extensive Art Deco architecture, attracts numerous tourists throughout the year. The city’s unique concentration of 1930s Art Deco and Spanish Mission architecture, rebuilt after the devastating 1931 Hawke’s Bay earthquake, is a sight to behold. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit Marine Parade, where you’ll find the iconic statue of Pania of the Reef, a figure from local Ngāti Kahungunu mythology.

CargoMaster is proud to serve Napier and its thriving industries. Whether you’re shipping exports, raw materials, or personal belongings, trust us to handle your cargo with expertise and care. Contact us today and experience hassle-free shipping to Napier, New Zealand, with CargoMaster as your trusted partner.

MOVING TO NAPIER, WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

NEW ZEALAND BORDER CONTROL AND AGENCIES

Border agencies The Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI) along with New Zealand Customs Service and the Department of Immigration, have specific requirements for people moving personal effects/household possessions to New Zealand. The following guide is put together by MPI – please refer to New Zealand Customs and the Department of Immigration websites for further information in those areas. Clearance of goods An inspector will assess documentation presented to MPI for possible risk goods. If an inspection of your personal effects is required this must be at a transitional facility and you must notify MPI of the location. If the shipment is a full sea container load an inspection of the sea container is mandatory and will be carried out by an accredited person or a MPI inspector. For more information contact MPI, your moving company, freight forwarder or customs agent. Other conditions may also apply and MPI will advise you of these at time of application. Keys may be required for any locked trunks, suitcases or vehicles.

RESTRICTED AND PROHIBITED ITEMS:

PACKING YOUR PERSONAL EFFECTS

Strict biosecurity laws mean there are some items you cannot bring to New Zealand, and some other items will require inspection on arrival. Using a professional moving company, freight forwarder or import agent to help you move can be beneficial, as they can provide assistance with MPI requirements. Having an accurate and easily understood manifest of your belongings will help MPI to assess these quickly when they arrive in New Zealand. By not packing some items, or packing goods that may require inspection together, you may save costs and time. If belongings are arriving in a sea container then the container must meet the requirements of the Import Health Standard for Sea Containers

PERSONAL MOTOR VEHICLES:

Personal vehicles and other machinery such as jet skis, lawn mowers or chainsaws are also subject to biosecurity requirements and are inspected on arrival. Before shipping, vehicles should be cleaned thoroughly inside and out, including underneath and around the wheels and wheel arches. If steam cleaning ensure the whole vehicle including the engine is cleaned. Contaminated vehicles will be directed for treatment and re-inspection (charges apply). For information on complying with vehicle safety regulations refer to the New Zealand Transport Agency website. For information on vehicle tax refer to New Zealand Customs Service.

BRINGING YOUR PETS TO NEW ZEALAND:

The requirements for bringing pets into New Zealand depend on the type of animal, where it is from and if there is an existing import health standard for the animal. Disease concerns mean that not all types of pets are allowed into New Zealand.

WOOD PACKAGING:

Wood packaging such as crates or pallets is subject to biosecurity requirements and must be declared3 . Wood packaging must have been fumigated or heat treated before use and must be declared in the Quarantine Declaration (for full container loads) regarding container cleanliness.
