Shuttle Connect


Port of Tauranga

Shuttle Connect for Port of Tauranga allows trucking companies and freight forwarders to inform the port of their preferred priority for containers moving from the Port of Tauranga seaport to Metroport inland port.

Priorities dictate where containers are discharged to in the seaport yard. Priority status containers are stored closer to the rail grid to allow easier loading to shuttle trains.

  • Set and maintain the priority of containers destined for Metroport Auckland from Port of Tauranga.
  • Service provided for transport carriers and freight forwarders only.
  • Receive free Gate-In Notifications when containers arrive at Metroport with a status of Priority. 

Port of Auckland

Shuttle Connect for Port of Auckland allows users to advise the port of containers that will depart via Rail and their intended Destination.

Submitting updates too close to, or after, the discharge time may incur additional costs which the user will accept when updating the container. Changes can be made prior to gate-out.
