I sort of agree with you whatup. In my recent post I did not make clear I wanted Ports of Auckland to continue but any development or expansion apart from in-terminal improvements take place else ware.

My reasons are;

The volume of container traffic is increasing so any growth in the Isthmus or the immediate North would provide sustenance for a Marsden Point container terminal.

There is a sunk cost to the Auckland container terminal. It would be unwise to bulldoze the historical investment made by Auckland ratepayers into the harbour then pay for the same else ware.
