The volume of many goods going through our ports is continuing to decline as the economic downturn continues.
Port of Auckland has announced a 22% increase in annual underlying profit, allowing it to return a $40 million dividend back to Auckland Council.
But that's largely due to a 3% increase in container volumes and 10% increase in full containers.
Chief Executive Roger Gray told Mike Hosking there has been a strong decline in construction materials coming in, including cement and steel.
He says car imports are down almost 10%, with almost no electric vehicles coming into the country now.
