Ports of Auckland today issued its trading results for the six months ended 31 December 2012.

• Breakbulk (non-containerised, including vehicles) cargo volumes were up 6.5% to 2.02 million tonnes compared to the same period last year. Vehicle volumes were up 1.0%.
• Port operating costs excluding depreciation decreased by $1.1m (1.9%).

• Port Operations revenue was down 5.8% to $90.1m for the six months. The revenue decline is due to reduced container volumes, and also from the absence of one-off gains in the previous year for Rugby World Cup and Rena salvage operations.
