IntroductionNew Zealand is a trading nation. Ports provide a vital link for 99.5% of its trade with international markets. From over 150 “ports” operating through its history, most have since been superseded by development of more efficient overland transport, or abandoned as unsuitable for evolving shipping requirements, notably ever larger ships. Of the twelve international ports that remain, a hierarchy is forming based on scale of throughput and service capability. Ports exist to service the needs of shippers (the owners of cargo) and their chosen shipping lines. These parties require infrastructure capable of efficiently handling their goods at competitive prices. Over time, technology changes like containerisation and larger ships have required ports to invest to meet these new demands. While ports are large enterprises in their own right, key port users are often more so and, particularly in relation to containers, able to choose from a range of ports.

Ports do not operate in a static or predictable environment. Trade flows are sensitive to economic cycles, with demand and competitiveness driving price. Having over-invested in capacity, shipping lines are currently under severe price and profitability pressure. Key export industries – most notably dairy – have softened. Technology is also changing port configurations to increase the capacity of existing terminals.

Core investment decisions include focussing on catering for growth and ever larger ships, and carry commercial risk. Investment decisions are subject to several forces. The Port Companies Act 1988, requires ports to be successful standalone businesses. Port users are seeking the best infrastructure, operated efficiently and at the lowest cost or they could go elsewhere. Ports’ council-owners have a wider community interest so may be willing to recognise the wider economic benefits of port activities. Finally, given long asset lives, port investment is predicated on judgements regarding long term forecasts and not immediate returns.

In general, New Zealand ports are more disciplined, efficient and sound businesses in 2016. We observe that trade volumes, being the barometer of a port’s top-line performance, have remained remarkably steady over time, supporting profitability and some record results.

The New Zealand ports and freight yearbook is a concise snapshot of selected macroeconomic and domestic drivers of New Zealand port activity and the freight task. It is intended that this publication will serve as a reference point for stakeholders and be updated on an annual basis. As a new initiative, we welcome your feedback in relation to content and presentation format, and look forward to future discussion and engagement.

Global economyThe World Bank Global Outlook report (January 2016) entitled “Disappointments, Risks and Spillovers” opens with the statement:

“Global growth again fell short of expectations in 2015, slowing to 2.4 percent from 2.6 percent in 2014. The disappointing performance was mainly due to a continued deceleration of economic activity in emerging and developing economies amid weakening commodity prices, global trade, and capital flows. Going forward, global growth is projected to edge up, but at a slower pace than envisioned in the June 2015 forecast, reaching 2.9 percent in 2016 and 3.1 percent in 2017-18. The forecast is subject to substantial downside risks, including a sharper-than-expected slowdown in major emerging and developing economies or financial market turmoil arising from a sudden increase in borrowing costs that could combine with deteriorating fundamentals and lingering vulnerabilities in some countries.”

The World Bank, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and indeed most economists, have been progressively downgrading economic growth forecasts for some time now as growth following the GFC has repeatedly disappointed and as new risks have emerged. Despite record low cost of funds, business and consumer confidence is generally weaker, softening demand and investment intentions, while supply remains strong, undermining prices, particularly for commodities. Geopolitical risks are also a factor (such as Syria, ISIS, Russia, and North Korea).

The dramatic decline in energy prices, while an economic stimulus to oil importing countries, has served to highlight wider risks. Combined with market illiquidity, the rise in the government debt levels and asset price bubbles, there are growing concerns of credit defaults. The EU slowdown continues to worry, while strident far-right political parties gain ground. Financial market turmoil, such as seen recently in global equity markets, is considered the biggest risk to a recovery.

The economic slowdown in China has increased uncertainty and the risk of a hard landing. China recently reported disappointing trade figures with exports down 11.2% and imports down 18.8% in January (the seventh and fifteenth consecutive monthly declines respectively). China’s capital outflows are also of concern, with authorities there expected to step in with potentially global repercussions.

Globally, central bank economic policies have become increasingly unconventional and the distinction between monetary and fiscal policy is increasingly blurred. We are now familiar with acronyms and terms unknown a decade ago, such as QE (quantitative easing), ZIRP (zero-interest-rate policy), and CE (credit easing). All are now widely employed by central banks, resulting in their balance sheets taking on debt, underwriting questionable assets or debasing their currencies. While the consensus remains for steady growth and eventual recovery, the concern is the lack of resilience should adverse events occur.

The next page presents selected trends affecting international transportation sub-sectors. It has been reproduced from a 2015 Deloitte global report entitled “Rethinking profitable growth in the transportation industry – when efficiency is no longer enough.” The report considers the macroeconomic conditions as an impetus for driving operating model transformation and profitable growth in the transportation industry. As transportation industry players face these challenges, they need to re-think growth strategies, develop necessary contingency plans and invest in capabilities to drive profitable growth.

Global insights: From Deloitte GlobalGlobal trends have a unique impact on each transportation sub-sector. The Deloitte report identifies three of the challenges that the transportation sector faces in the marketplace and suggests these challenges underpin the need for change to allow efficiency improvements.

1. Slow recovering demand 2. Sophisticated consumers 3. Volatile external forces

AIRLINE CARGO • World air cargo traffic has grown at only 2.6% over the last 10 years and future growth will be tightly tied to the global recovery

• Proliferation of online shopping has driven demand for faster shipping which is presenting complex capability challenges for suppliers

• Managing ongoing volatility will remain a challenge, despite the recent drop in oil prices

• The increase in extreme heat events could increase the number of cancelled flights and decrease payload capacity

TRUCKING/LOGISTICS

• Low barriers to entry mixed with a positive demand outlook may increase participation and competition in the segment as the economy strengthens

• The rise of omni-channel, mass customisation, and same-day delivery may require trucking suppliers to develop new capabilities – especially to win the last mile

• The rapidly changing energy landscape may erode the value of fuel-efficient fleet investments

• The increase in heavy rain and flooding events could increase unexpected delays

RAIL • As global macroeconomic trends recover, rail suppliers may face added competition from other shipping modes as spending shifts from low cost solutions, like rail, to premium air and truck solutions

• As customers become increasingly reliant on real-time information, rail will need to continue to make investments in customer service capabilities

• The recent drop in fuel prices could boost margins in the short term, but may dampen the strong growth seen in oil transportation volumes

• Increased rainfall and flooding boosts track maintenance costs and causes shipping delays

MARITIME • Less than expected global demand has led to an oversupply of ships and fleet under-utilisation

• Shipping freight rates continue to fall as Europe and Japan’s economies falter

• As with rail, customers will continue to demand real-time information necessitating customer service investments

• Customers switched to maritime shipping during the recession to save on cost, but if fuel prices remain low maritime shipping’s price advantage could erode

• While sea shipping lanes will be open longer due to warmer temperatures, the levels of some fresh water passages are projected to drop, decreasing cargo capacity

New Zealand economyNew Zealand has weathered the post GFC world better than most. It hosts a stable democracy, attains high educational standards, offers an enviable standard of living with good social accord and, with exports accounting for about 30% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), operates one of the world’s most free-market based economies. Its fertile soils and temperate climate provide ideal conditions for its strong agricultural sector while its isolation distances it from the worst geopolitical pressures.

Economic management is sound. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand (RBNZ) independently manages monetary policy and maintains a low-inflation environment, while the tax structure is simple and effective. The World Bank ranked New Zealand as the world’s second easiest country to do business in generally.

Like all economies, New Zealand experienced a slow-down following the GFC in September 2008 with business and consumer confidence declining. However, with strong Government accounts and a well-capitalised banking system the economy pulled out of recession faster than most other developed countries spurred by strong demand and prices for key export commodities. This prompted Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC) to label New Zealand the “rock star economy” in January 2014, and in 2015 the OECD commented that “strong fiscal monetary policy frameworks and a healthy financial sector have yielded macroeconomic stability, underpinning growth … business investment is robust and households and firms are optimistic.”

The RBNZ recently observed that global economic growth is below average and inflation is low with weaker growth in Australia, the European Union (EU) and emerging economies, particularly in China despite highly stimulatory monetary conditions. This has weakened New Zealand’s terms of trade while strong net immigration has contributed to increased unemployment. While economic growth is expected to resume later in 2016, the RBNZ now sees a number of uncertainties and risks to this outlook, particularly around dairy and the current drought conditions, prompting a reversal in its tightening bias and a reduction in the Official Cash Rate (OCR) to 2.25% (March 2016).

The New Zealand Institute of Economic Research (NZIER) Consensus Forecasts (December 2015) shows pared back growth expectations to below 3% out to 2019, driven by softer business investment, despite continued solid expectations for housing construction.

Industry focus 2015/16Policy focus still on transport

Transport continues to be a major focus of government policy, with infrastructure investment being a core economic stimulus tool. The 2015/16 budget allocated an additional $248.9 million for key transport projects over the following four years, bringing total spending on transport in 2015/16 to $4.15 billion, including $3.9 billion from the National Land Transport Fund (derived from Road User Charges, Motor Vehicle Registration Fees and Fuel Excise Duties).

In 2010, KiwiRail was allocated $4.7 billion for a 10-year Turnaround Plan (which included the Auckland and Wellington metro rail upgrades). Support continues, with KiwiRail receiving an extra $210 million in the 2015/16 budget, and the government now backing the Auckland City Rail Link.

Coastal shipping, with apparent capacity and potential, remains in a policy vacuum with central government having no direct stake in ports or shipping.

The Ministry of Transport has invested in building quality databases such as the Freight Information Gathering System (FIGS), National Freight Demand Study (NFDS), and wider New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) statistics and Productivity Commission reports. These provide powerful new insights and allow for more informed decision making.

Global trade

Seven years on from the GFC, global uncertainty, volatile growth rates and deflationary fears still weigh on confidence. While a full analysis is beyond the scope of this report, we can observe that consensus economic forecasts for New Zealand and the world continue to be wound back. Business and consumer confidence remains fragile, while central bank stimulus capacity is all but exhausted. Increasingly, commentary discusses the vulnerability of financial institutions.

The relationship between trade and economic performance is well established. Historically, the value of global trade has grown at approximately twice global GDP (World Trade Organisation International Trade Statistics (WTO ITS) data 1995-2006 shows the ratio to be 1.8x). Ignoring the volatility in the immediate aftermath of the GFC, trade growth has since fallen to be in line with GDP (1.1x for 2012-2014). For New Zealand, pre GFC trade growth of 1.5x GDP (RBNZ: 1990-2006) has since fallen 0.1x (RBNZ, 2012-2015). While the economics behind our key export commodities such as dairy and logs have been affected by falling prices (oversupply set against weaker demand), ports will benefit from the continued (albeit reduced) volume growth and supply commitments.

International shipping

As a trading nation where 99.5% of imports and exports move by sea, New Zealand’s reliance on shipping is apparent. In a perfect world, it would have options for reasonably priced shipping which provides an acceptable level of service to its trading markets. And currently shippers have that choice. So why shouldn’t they be celebrating? Simply, the shipping industry remains in a deep self-imposed turmoil and is unsustainable.

Overcapacity

In a drive to improve fleet efficiency, and spurred by strong pre-GFC trade growth, shipping lines commenced an unprecedented shipbuilding drive towards bulk and container ships. Even prior to the GFC new ship capacity was far exceeding trade growth and post GFC the overcapacity became chronic. Remarkably that exuberant drive has continued. Global containership capacity hit a record 19.94 million twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) by the end of 2015, while vessel scrapping and other deletions removed only 0.35 million TEU. As a consequence, excess containership capacity hit a record high, up from 0.23 million TEU to 1.36 million TEU over the year, to 331 containerships which now lie idle. Belatedly, shipbuilding is slowing with forecast growth in 2016 of 4.6% the lowest ever recorded, and below the average annual growth rate recorded since 1990 of 10.3% (Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)). We note that 4.6% is still almost twice the forecast rate of trade growth and the current shipbuilding order book is equivalent to 19% of current global capacity.

Larger Ships

The economics of larger ships appear compelling with lower unit slot costs, higher transit speeds and lower emissions. Internationally, we have seen deliveries of containerships in excess of 19000 TEU (400m+ in length), with orders for ships over 21000 TEU. Such ships raise significant challenges for port infrastructure, requiring larger port transfers to realise potential savings (increasing peak capacity requirements while service frequency may fall). New Zealand currently receives ships of over 5000 TEU, the size of the largest ship ever built in 1995, so faces these benefits and challenges.

New larger ships are cascading down onto secondary routes, including to New Zealand where the average ship size is up from 2350 TEU to 2750 TEU since 2012. Notably however, ships exceeding 4000 TEU now account for 40% of the visiting fleet capacity, up from 3% in 2012.

Fuel costs

Crude oil prices rose dramatically pre-GFC, with shipping fuel (bunker) costs rising to over half of ship operating costs. After years of increasing ship transit speeds (some containerships reaching 30 knots) slow steaming was introduced where transit speeds fell to as low as 10 knots. Originally intended to absorb excess shipping capacity, slow steaming also resulted in dramatic fuel savings. Illustrative of this, fuel consumption can be reduced by 59% via reducing a cargo ship speed from 27 knots to 18 knots, potentially saving millions of dollars per voyage. However, from a shipper’s perspective this results in longer transit times and a shorter window for shelf life for time and temperature sensitive goods.

While oil prices have recently slumped to levels last seen in 2002 it is unlikely container shipping lines will abandon slow steaming any time soon. To do so would immediately impose higher operating costs, would require major reconfiguration of scheduled services, and there is no certainty fuel prices will remain low. Higher transit speeds would also release slot capacity and so exacerbate excess capacity already at anchor.

Profitability

Excess capacity in a weakening post GFC market has seen container slot prices slump and shipping lines accumulate billions in losses. While post GFC losses were widespread in 2009, some container shipping companies have since returned to profitability. Maersk, the world’s largest container line, benefits from its scale but also because container shipping is aggregated within diverse businesses such as ports, logistics, oil and gas and transport industries. Most lines, having benefitted from a boost in 2010, have since lapsed into losses which persist today. Only 7 of the top 14 container lines made a profit in the third quarter of 2015, with the average margin (profit/revenue) falling to -1.8%.

Alliances introduced post GFC to increase ship utilisation (and reducing differentiation) are slowly being unwound as shipping lines seek again to differentiate or are reforming as a result of corporate actions. Differentiation would typically be through the chosen mix of ports called within a schedule, or the line’s wider network. Others seek security in long term contracts, such as Maersk with Kotahi. Most however compete primarily on price, with shippers unwilling to pay a premium for service differentiation.

With shipping companies having already aggressively reduced costs, and with overcapacity weighing on prices, shipping lines currently enjoy no buffer against forecast anaemic trade growth. As foreshadowed by Maersk’s CEO, there are more hard times ahead. While low prices may seem like a silver lining for our shippers, if vital supply chains are not financially sustainable, this represents a real problem for New Zealand.

Ship utilisation

We observe from FIGS data that ship utilisation (a measure of shipping line efficiency) has ranged between 31%-38% since 2012, and was 35% (1.77 million TEU transferred at multiple ports from ships with capacity of 2.55 million TEU) in 2015 (Oct14-Sep15). In 2015, 934 ships visited 3,375 ports (average 3.6 ports per visit) in New Zealand. The size of port exchanges must increase to warrant use of larger ships, although we observe that since 2013 the size of exchange has fallen from a New Zealand average of 965 TEU to 820 TEU, suggesting ship capacity is being introduced faster than the growth in trade. This supports the observations of strong competition on our coast and pressure on pricing.

The following table presents international ship capacity and average TEU exchanges for the period October 2014 to September 2015 by port.

Coastal shipping

Coastal shipping, having played a vital role early in New Zealand’s history, now plays a niche role, with road and rail doing the heavy lifting. Core coastal trades are in discrete markets – petroleum products, cement and inter-island ferries and where growth mirrors wider economic activity. For general goods, and especially containers, coastal shipping competes more directly with road and rail.

The New Zealand Shipping Federation recently published a report “Full Steam Ahead” to stimulate a wider discussion on national freight options. The report presents the case for coastal shipping to be considered in wider infrastructure and policy decisions. It calls for “joined up thinking,” where all transport issues and policies are considered by all agencies in a truly multi-modal context.

While coastal shipping is unable to match the flexibility, frequency or speed of delivery by either road or rail, it does offer many advantages, such as avoided capex (building and maintaining our roads, whereas shipping capacity can be readily added with minimal investment), environmental benefits of shipping (with New Zealand joining 194 other countries in Paris agreeing to mitigate global warming) and reduced congestion on our roads.

In addition, domestic operators are disadvantaged relative to international ships which, apart from scale and marginal pricing opportunities, attract some relief from tax, GST, emissions and labour laws. Accordingly, international ships carry the lion’s share of coastal traffic, and more so since Pacifica retired a vessel in November 2015.

The China Navigation Company’s (CNCo) acquisition of Pacifica Shipping signalled the potential for a more prosperous era for coastal container shipping. Unfortunately for Pacifica, the market has turned distinctly hostile. International shipping lines suffering from low prices have scrambled for any non-Kotahi Maersk containers, marginally pricing on Pacifica’s coastal market (transhipment and domestic).

Of the 2.75 million TEU containers handled by New Zealand ports in 2015, 0.86 million TEU were coastal moves (domestic and transhipment), with the balance being import or export flows (or on-port shifts and restows). Since New Zealand removed cabotage (laws which restrict foreign ships carrying domestic cargos) in 1994, domestic shipping has competed more directly with international shipping. Pacifica Shipping has been the key coastal operator since 1985, with a fleet of up to 4 RORO (roll-on/roll-off) ships. Since 2000, Pacifica changed to operate container ships, initially geared but ungeared from 2008 onwards. This committed them to using container terminals rather than general wharves, bringing them into direct competition with international containerships. Pacifica’s strategy was to boost coastal traffic and to provide feeder services to international lines.

FIGS data shows that coastal volumes increased, from 45,000 TEU/quarter in 2012 to 60,000 TEU/quarter in 2015, with domestic operators’ (Pacifica’s) share rising from 20% to almost 30%, albeit with a loss of market share in early 2015. Pacifica’s release of Spirit of Endurance in late 2015 (reducing its fleet to a single ship, Spirit of Canterbury) is expected to see its market share drop further.

While CNCo has the funding, ambition and patience to rebuild as a large coastal player, this will depend on when we believe global shipping might behave more rationally and when more sustainable pricing will emerge.

Hubbing

Shippers understandably seek to optimise their supply chains. Larger ships that can bring efficiencies to blue-water legs have arrived, with 40% of New Zealand containerised imports and exports now carried on ships larger than 4000 TEU. However, these blue-water gains may be at least partially offset by higher costs elsewhere in the supply chain. Further, with supply chains becoming longer and more complex, service levels may reduce (lower service frequency to achieve larger transfers, longer overall transit times given need to hub/reposition cargo, compounded by slow steaming).

Transhipment flows in New Zealand were building steadily, with Tauranga emerging as the key export hub (with Port of Napier and Nelson Port the key feeder ports) and Auckland the import hub. Since 2014, we observe a clear reversal where transhipment volumes have dropped (while coastal volumes have accelerated). It appears that international shipping lines are now competing on price and by offering direct services. Tauranga, which ranks #1 for transhipments, is the only port reporting recent growth. We also note that Timaru exports thought to be “captive” are not yet being hubbed via Tauranga. Transhipments via Auckland (an import hub) have eased with tranship volumes through most other ports, acting as feeder ports (source or destination), down.

Inland Ports

Supply chains have become more complex, with freight diverted from direct source-destination routes through intermediate freight hubs, usually developed by freight/logistics companies. Ports have increasingly developed such sites, termed off-port or inland ports, although the function of these sites can vary widely. Many are intermodal (a transfer between different modes (e.g. road and rail)), and may provide functions ranging from vanning (loading) and devanning (unloading), customs clearance (bonded), offsite storage (to relieve port congestion), empty container storage, maintenance (of equipment and containers) and logistics services. These sites may also form a component of a wider freight park (cargo generation or destination, and services).

Inland port development initiatives include:

• Port of Tauranga - an early mover with MetroPort (1999) and more recently Rolleston (2014).

• Lyttelton - City Depot/Woolston (2006) and Midland (Rolleston) (2016).

• Auckland - Wiri (2010), Longburn (2014, with Port of Napier), Mt Maunganui (2015), Horotiu (2016)

• Port Otago - Sawyers Bay (2013), plus Southgate

• CentrePort - Seaview and Wanganui (2014), plus CentreRail

• South Port – a site in Invercargill (2014).

• Fonterra has developed its own depots at Te Rapa (2005) and Mosgiel (2008), hubbing through Kotahi/Maersk

• An open access hub is proposed at Ruakura (Hamilton, pending).

Logistics

Ports are an indispensable part of the journey for over 99.5% of our merchandise import-export trade, but they cannot control freight flows. Those decisions are made by shippers and shipping lines which actively exercise their choices (although practically their options are limited). Ports do compete, differentiating on location, infrastructure capability, performance and price. More recently, ports have sought greater insight and influence on trade flows by investing upstream into logistics providers, and even transport companies. Tauranga was an early mover with C3 (log stevedoring, now via Quality Marshalling), MetroPort and Tappers, while Auckland has developed its Nexus joint venture. Several have initiatives with KiwiRail.

Empty containers

Moving empties reflects supply and demand mismatches (seasonal and geographic).

Of the 2.75 million TEU handled by NZ ports, 0.77 million TEU (28%) were recorded as empties:

• Full import containers once devanned need to be relocated to an exporter

• Specialist containers may not have a suitable backhaul e.g. where the cost of shipping an empty food-grade reefer may be lower than cost of cleaning/repairing/certifying if used for non-food goods

• There are strong seasonal and locational demand cycles creating a mismatch for each container type (20’, 40‘, dry, reefer)

• Each shipping line (container owner) operates largely independently, with unique seasonal, geographic and customer requirements

Some quite distinct patterns emerge in empty container movements:

• For dry containers, 94% imported full but many are exported empty – 20ft – imports full, exports 32% empty – 40ft – imports 80% full, exports 14% empty

• For reefer containers, exported full but many are imported empty – 20ft – imports 76% empty, exports 2% empty – 40ft – imports 40% empty, exports 6% empty – Strong seasonal patterns in 40ft reefers

• 65% of domestic coastal moves are of empty containers

Patterns by port

Ports play distinct roles for full containers. Ports of Auckland (AKL) dominates import flows into New Zealand with 56% share, followed by Port of Tauranga (TRG) and Lyttelton Port of Christchurch (LYT). For exports, TRG dominates with 40% share, followed by AKL, then Port of Napier (NPE) and LYT. Transhipments are principally exports flowing north (primarily to TRG).

Tranship + Other Domestic Imports Exports

New Zealand freight taskThis section is principally derived from Deloitte’s National Freight Demand (NFDS) Study, published in 2014 and updating the inaugural report from 2008. The Ministry of Transport proposes to update the NFDS every 3 years.

Each year, 236 million tonnes of freight are moved within New Zealand, some 50 tonnes per person. This task can be classified into four broad groupings: primary produce, energy, construction materials, and manufactured and retail goods.

The primary sector is New Zealand’s key generator of domestic freight, much destined for export. The flows are from source (farm gate or plantation forest) either direct to ports for export (such as logs) or more usually via intermediate processing industries (dairy factories) for both domestic consumption and/or export. Favourable export conditions and a buoyant construction sector have supported the strength in forestry, while dairy has enjoyed rapid expansion (much enabled by irrigation). Dairy alone exceeds the tonnage of all other agricultural commodities: livestock, meat, wool, horticulture, grains, and fish.

Source: NFDS 2014

Petroleum and coal freight are concentrated on a few key regions where the resources are located and extracted, coal from West Coast and Waikato, and petroleum from Taranaki or Northland where it is imported and refined.

Key construction materials, aggregate and cement, are also produced in high volumes, although generally close to domestic markets given their bulk and relatively low unit value.

Manufactured and retail goods, whether domestically made or imported, are usually smaller and of greater unit value, and are observed to be transported greater distances.

Regional freight generation

Clear patterns are evident in domestic freight flows. Primary producing areas generate flows to export ports, typically via processing facilities. Population is a major driver of both consumption and manufacturing activity.

The Golden Triangle (Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty) combines both population and primary industries (forestry and dairy) to account for 45% of all freight tonnage produced. Canterbury is the dominant freight generator in the South Island producing 15% of the national freight task.

Manufacturing and retail freight tonnage correlate strongly with population, notably in Auckland and Canterbury, which host manufacturing hubs, large scale distribution centres, and receive consumer goods through their ports.

The primary sector locates in regions offering favourable topography, climate, and soil. Waikato, Taranaki, Manawatu, and Southland have proven well-suited to dairy production, as well as Canterbury if irrigation is available, with dairy accounting for over 20% of total freight generated for these regions. This is similar for forestry, where warm climate and lower-value land have attracted substantial plantings in Northland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawkes Bay, and Tasman/Nelson/Marlborough. Forestry volumes account for over 35% of freight in these regions (excepting Waikato at 16% and Northland at 26%).

Crude oil flows are either direct export (from Taranaki) or direct import (to the refinery in Northland). Domestic transport of petroleum products is primarily from the Northland refinery to coastal distribution, with a rising direct import share, and then by truck to the nation’s service stations. West Coast coal production is principally for export via Lyttelton, while Waikato coal serves a domestic market in the upper North Island. The outlook for coal is overshadowed by low prices and its high environmental footprint. Cement is manufactured at plants in Northland and West Coast for distribution by coastal ships and then road and rail. The West Coast plant is being superseded by direct import. Southland hosts the Tiwai Point Aluminium Smelter, which while generating largely direct import export flows, accounts for almost 10% of the regions total freight flows.

Regional freight flows

Intra-regional flows

Freight is a cost borne by all cargos and so effort is made to minimise the freight task. Accordingly, intra-regional flows account for 77% of the total domestic freight task. The quantum of intra-regional freight task is driven by regional population and production (primary and manufacturing).

West Coast has the lowest intra-regional share at 47% given the volumes of coal exported via Canterbury, while Manawatu serves as a rail and road hub for the North Island. The smallest intra-regional freight flow (West Coast) is exceeded by the inter-regional flows in only the three Golden Triangle regions of Waikato, Auckland and Bay of Plenty.

Inter-Regional Flows

Inter-regional freight flows are typically concentrated on immediately adjacent regions, given the shorter transport distances, and are associated with just a few key trades. The largest inter-regional freight flows occur within the Golden Triangle, which accounts for 49% of the country’s population. Freight flows are varied with major volumes including:

• Dairy: Waikato – Bay of Plenty (0.78 million tonnes).

• Forestry: Auckland – Bay of Plenty (0.77 million tonnes), Waikato – Bay of Plenty (0.94 million tonnes), Bay of Plenty – Auckland (0.77 million tonnes).

• Other Agriculture: Bay of Plenty – Waikato (0.65 million tonnes).

• Coal: Waikato – Auckland (0.78 million tonnes).

• Aggregate: Waikato – Auckland (1.74 million tonnes), Waikato – Bay of Plenty (0.56 million tonnes).

• Manufactured Goods: Auckland – Waikato (0.70 million tonnes), Auckland – Bay of Plenty (1.00 million tonnes).

• Retail: Auckland – Waikato (0.90 million tonnes).

Auckland and Canterbury exhibit sizeable freight flows to a number of regions, representative of their positions as distribution hubs for consumer goods. Manufactured goods and retail goods freight flows comprise 71% of Auckland’s inter-regional flows and 63% for Canterbury.

Inter-regional trade between the North and South Islands totals just 6.2 million tonnes with trade between the North Island and Canterbury accounting for 62% of the total.

Outside of the Golden Triangle, key specialised freight flows between regions include:

• Dairy: Manawatu to Taranaki (1.46 million tonnes), Southland – Otago (0.46 million tonnes).

• Forestry: Hawkes Bay – Bay of Plenty (0.84 million tonnes).

• Petroleum: Northland – NZ (2.51 million tonnes).

• Coal: West Coast – Canterbury (2.35 million tonnes).

• Aggregate: Northland – Auckland (0.64 million tonnes).

• Cement: Northland – Auckland (0.49 million tonnes).

• Retail Goods: Manawatu – Wellington (0.70 million tonnes).

Modal Share

Road is the dominant mode of transport for intra-regional freight flows with market share exceeding 95% in all regions (except Bay of Plenty at 83% given logs are railed to Tauranga for export). Road offers superior service quality (transit time, reliability, service availability, and frequency), and uniquely provides door-to-door capability (so is needed to provide the “final mile” service for rail and shipping). Road services can be requested on demand whereas rail and shipping services operate on schedules with less flexibility. New Zealand’s roading network is also more expansive than the country’s rail and port network, thus road is able to service greater areas. Road furthermore benefits from being the lower cost option for shorter distances travelled transporting intra-regional freight flows.

Modal share competition is more pronounced over the longer distances involved with inter-regional freight flows. Road, nevertheless, remains dominant. Rail and coastal shipping typically offer cost advantages over road as distance increases, as well as greater environmental benefits, and may be better suited to the transportation of long-haul, or repetitive freight tasks.

Configuring supply chains can reflect strategic mode choices. Fonterra utilises rail to transport much of its North Island product from origin (Waikato, Taranaki, Manawatu) to port (Bay of Plenty, Hawkes Bay) for export. Similarly, Solid Energy transports its coal by rail from the West Coast to Canterbury for export. Port of Tauranga has developed a rail link to its Auckland MetroPort facility to capture general freight (manufactured and retail goods, and repositioning empties).

Coastal shipping is favoured by shippers of lower-value bulk goods such as cement from Northland and West Coast, and petroleum from the refinery in Northland. We also observe flows of manufactured and retail goods from Auckland distribution centres by coastal shipping.

Overall road holds a 68% market share (by tonnage) of inter-regional freight flows, with rail accounting for 21% and coastal shipping 11%.

Port performanceOperations

• Major container ports: TRG and AKL continue to be the dominant players in the market with a combined market share of 61% of all containers handled.

• Throughput: TRG is New Zealand’s largest port by overall throughput, handling a record 20.2 million tonnes in 2015, achieving a CAGR of 4.8% over the last decade.

• Containers: AKL remains the highest throughput container port in 2015, handling approximately 972,000 TEU. The Port has several initiatives to boost the Fergusson container terminal capacity: completing the reclamation, building the North berth, and reviewing automation options.

• 6500 TEU capable: TRG, at number 2 for containers, is cementing its Kotahi/Maersk arrangements, with forward growth expected to directly challenge AKL. With channel dredging underway, it will be the first port to have capacity to handle 6500 TEU containerships.

• Highest growth: TIU container volumes have grown over the last year with TEU increasing 250% from circa 20,000 TEU to approximately 70,000 TEU. This can be attributed to its alliance with TRG which has also opened a container facility at Rolleston (South of Christchurch).

• Other significant increases: Three ports had double digit percentage growth: – NPE: [17% ] – Maersk Northerstar Route and containerised pulp (was breakbulk) – WLG: [14% ] – CentreRail initiative – TRG: [12% ] – Kotahi & Maersk.

• NPL volumes dropped due to the loss of all international container services.

• LYT’s volumes eased slightly, commissioning of Cashin Quay 2 removes foreseeable terminal constraints.

• POE had a 5% decline in total container volumes as tranship volumes, full import/export containers and empty containers were all down on the previous period.

• BLU saw 9% growth through improved operations of the two mobile harbour crane operating model.

• NSN had a 3% increase and reported record volumes for the second year in a row.

Port performanceComposition

Source: FIGS, Annual Reports Source: Annual Reports

The trade characteristics of each port are quite unique, and reflect the mixture of trade generation in the hinterland and the local population base.

• Highest volumes: On throughput TRG stands clear of AKL, followed by NTH and LYT.

• Largest export commodity: While each region has some plantation forestry, its proximity to the extensive Central North Island forests boost TRG forestry exports, New Zealand’s largest single trade. NTH, EST and NPE also feature significant log exports.

• Bulk liquids: The second biggest trade is bulk liquids, being crude oil imports and petroleum product coastal exports through NTH, and crude oil and methanol exports from NPL.

• Other trade: AKL features strongly with Other Bulk, being the key vehicle import port. LYT’s Other Bulk was largely coal exports, although Solid Energy’s receivership raises some questions over coal’s forward volumes.

• Container trade: TRG and AKL attract higher overall container trade, both well ahead of number three, LYT.

• Highest container trade volumes: In 2015, AKL had the highest container volumes in the country with approx. 972,000 TEU. This is closely followed by TRG with 851,000 TEU.

• Import volumes: AKL has the highest import volumes in the country, and accounts for close to 40% of the total import volumes.

• Export volumes: TRG has the highest export volumes in the country and accounts for approximately 38% of total export volumes.

• Import-Export gap: AKL, TRG, & NPE all have a significant import and export imbalance. AKL import volumes are almost twice as large as export volumes. While TRG and NPE import volumes are almost two thirds of their export volumes. The rest of the ports have an Imports: Exports ratio of between 0.86-1.14.

• Domestic containers: AKL & LYT account for circa 85% domestic volumes.

Port performancePort utilisationThe utilisation metrics in the adjacent charts have been estimated using port statistics.

Container Ship Utilisation:

• Major container ports (AKL, TRG, LYT) had the highest container ship utilisation, followed by BLU.

• The two major container ports by throughput (AKL and TRG) both have significantly higher crane utilisation than all other ports.

• NPL estimate is excluded, due to low levels of containers recorded in FY15.

Container Terminal Utilisation:

• Major container ports (AKL, TRG, NPE, LYT) had the highest TEU/Container Wharf/Metre.

• LYT, AKL had the highest container land utilisation (TEU/Terminal ha).

Bulk Terminal Utilisation:

• Ports with bulk throughput > 50% of total throughput (TRG & NPL) had significantly higher wharf utilisation (Bulk Tonnes/General Wharf metre).

• AKL, NPL & POE had the highest land utilisation (Bulk Tonnes/Bulk Terminal ha). 35

Port performanceFinancialsIn 2014 all ports posted improved revenue results. In 2015 this has not been the case.

Seven ports reported revenue increases. Drivers for revenue increases include:

• Improved port operations.

• Container volume growth.

• Improved log exports.

• Increased cruise ship activity.

• New operating structures.

• Overall volume improvements.

However, five ports reported revenue decreases, largely driven by:

• Reduced volumes.

• Sales of subsidiary companies.

• Lower property rentals.

All ports reported positive profits in 2015. However, all but TRG and WLG declined on reported profitability in 2014.

• Ports with profitability increases: Tauranga saw revenue improvements through to the bottom line. Wellington rebounded given the port’s return to normal services following the earthquake impacted results of 2014.

• Ports with profitability decreases: Other ports saw lower profitability levels due to factors such as decreased volumes, increased competition for market share and flat or rising expenses such as employees, financing costs, and revaluation changes.

All port shareholders received a dividend in 2015.

• The above table shows actual pay-out ratios for 2015. Dividend pay-out ratio for Auckland was high due to the normalisation of an impairment reversal.

• LYT paid a special dividend in September 2014 following the successful takeover of LYT by Christchurch City Holdings Limited (CCHL).

• TIU had its first full year under its new shareholding structure with Timaru District Holdings and TRG. The higher pay-out in 2014 reflected the release of retained earnings related to this change in ownership structure.

Large capital investments are underway for many of the ports. Port development includes:

• AKL: Freight hubs, wharf extension and demolition, Holcim cement silo dome.

• TRG: Undertaking a $350m capital expenditure project to be able to host ships carrying 6,500 – 7,000 TEUs.

• LYT: Continues with redevelopment post-earthquake. The Lyttelton Port Recovery Plan was approved in November 2015, providing direction for further development.

• POE: Commenced four projects as part of the NextGeneration project to ready the port for larger vessels.

• Typical port projects for 2015 included dredging, investment in port capability (such as cranes, tugs, automation), and seawalls.

New Zealand ports are investing for the next generation of ships and improving port infrastructure. Total net debt (interest bearing debt less cash) in 2015 was $810 million, down from $825 million in 2014 (down 2%). This excludes LYT, which had negative net debt in both periods.

• TRG’s debt to their parent company increased 13% in 2015.

• NPE increased their net debt by 34% from $62.8 to $84.3 million.

• LYT remains debt free following insurance settlement in 2014.

• POE reduced debt through their sale of its LYT interest which generated $65 million. POE borrowings were reduced from $120m to $55 million.

The above ratios indicate a company’s capacity for additional borrowing and ability to service current debt levels.

• The gearing ratio is calculated as debt divided by debt plus equity.

• The average gearing ratio in 2015 was 15.4%, up from 14.3% in 2014.

• The interest cover ratio is calculated as normalised EBIT (removal of associate or joint venture earnings and abnormal items) divided by net interest expense.

• MLB has a reduced interest cover ratio compared to 2014, impacted by finance costs on losses on derivatives in 2015.

• WLG at 1.9 times interest coverage, reflecting its investment property portfolio records the lowest ratio.

Du Pont analysis breaks down Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) into their components making it possible to identify the causes of variation in ratios between ports based on company specific factors.

Definitions of metrics:

• ROA is a firm’s asset turnover multiplied by its net profit margin.

• The equity multiplier is the ratio of assets divided by equity.

• ROE is the product of ROA and a firm’s equity multiplier.

• Asset turnover measures how well a company utilises its assets to generate sales (sales divided by assets).

• Net profit margin (net profit after tax divided by sales) measures how much of every $1 of revenue a firm converts into net profit.

Port Comments

• POE and TRG show the highest net profit margins across all ports with margins around 30%.

• Most other ports have net profit margins of closer to 20% (17.9% - 24.5%). WLG and TIU nearly doubled their margins since 2015.

• BLU and NPL exhibited high asset efficiency compared to other ports.

• Equity multiplier ratios are influenced by the gearing level of the ports. The ratio continues with the same nationwide average at 1.40 as 2014. AKL and WLG, which both have relatively higher levels of debt compared to the other ports consequently have higher equity multipliers.

• LYT currently has the lowest equity multiplier (due to having no interest bearing debt), has the third lowest asset turnover ratio, and consequently has the lowest return on equity, which is consistent with its placing in 2015. However, ROE has increased from 2.8% the year prior.

• BLU once again has the highest ROE, which is attributable to an exceptionally high asset turnover rate (more than double the next highest rate).

Port Nelson - NSNOverviewNSN occupies a sheltered corner of New Zealand, secured by a productive hinterland, topographical isolation, and the absence of a rail link. It owns a portfolio of properties within the Port area, with ongoing demand for industrial development. The port is heavily focused on export of the regions primary production, with key trades being wine, fish, fruit and forestry. Reflecting limited import demand, most import containers are empty. While its key trades are international exports, Nelson records a high level of transhipments.

Port Development
