New Zealand' needs to start to future proof against increase global supply chains disruptions and uncertainties by relying less on imports of most every day items with increase self sufficiency. The warning bells are ringing.
Too late, everyone shipped manufacturing to China and now no one has the money or vision to change and invest in their own economies. China doesn't have to worry about winning an election. Their focus and vision is competing and being the best at all future technology
@@tripzville7569 Nah, its white people way or no other way. Most colonized western colonies will never be united, NZ will only be united as long as Māori and other native people don't know their history... Regardless the wealth disparity is visible Chinese and Indians be on the rise in NZ next 100 years
Red sea,The Suez canal,the Panama canal,the recent strikes at USA ports ,so many factors that will help impact Global Shipping and Supply. Add to that Ships having issues,having personnel to man them . NZ relying on Just in Time is difficult to maintain if the supply chain is disrupted,we are Islands in the Pacific relying on imported goods ! And yes the ships are getting bigger and bigger and many ports around the globe are struggling to be capable of handling them ,on all aspects of that , bigger ships are hard to handle and most ports bed to dredge and dredge their harbours and shipping channels just to get then in and out ,let alone handle them on current infrastructure.
Price increases without a single tangible improvement in turnaround times from a transporters perspective. Two years ago to make a booking to collect a container was circa $10 per container, as of January 2025 $135 per booking and January 2026 $175 per booking… I understand the need to show a return to your owners (Auckland ratepayers) however without any efficiency improvements it’s akin to daylight robbery, that every consumer in NZ ultimately ends up footing the bill for. Sure wish I could increase my charges at a similar rate, but then I don’t have a monopoly on the Auckland container market…
It’s paid twice. But you’re missing the point. It’s the massive increase in cost for zero extra productivity on the ports behalf. If any other monopoly business increased their prices by this amount we’d all be swinging from the rafters…
I think we need more Aussie CEOs in this country. Domestic leaders are of a really low calibre and I believe its largely a matter of the antagonistic and adversarial culture that is typical of business in this country that developed thanks to the introduction of the Rogernomics reforms.
Not really. We need CEOs from places like India, UK, Singapore or Turkey. Who have experiance dealing with large volumes of cargo float. Aussies are in the same situation as us. They dont have the experiance dealing with large volumes
I think doemstic leaders are still pandering to previous Labour, government all they talk of community engagement, climate changes stuff that appeals seemingly left.
Bad days to talk about shipping isn’t it? We have just lost a navy ship I will imagine to human error given it was meant to be the best of them in regards to being able to navigate. All these shipping issues are just down to people not getting it done. Simple as that, I don’t know how many times I see the port cranes of Auckland sitting still doing nothing. And there are busier ports in NZ getting it done doing a much better job than Auckland.
One minute the guy says “JIT is back and local inventories are being reduced”, next minute she asks if we’ve “learned the lessons of covid” - well clearly not. Less product stored locally means more dependence on very long supply chains.
Great interview, thank you!!
I really appreciate these interviews with business leaders.

Kiwis are to slow Māori have already set up crisis plans and their communities are just waiting.
@@TysonAk-s9e - Are you sure.
Brilliant post. New Zealand can set an example to the rest of the world by UNITING IN ITS DIVERSITY FOR THE BETTERMENT OF ALL.

What is "to collect" a container? Does it have to be paid more than once? If not, it's negligible for the value of a container load.
It’s paid twice. But you’re missing the point. It’s the massive increase in cost for zero extra productivity on the ports behalf. If any other monopoly business increased their prices by this amount we’d all be swinging from the rafters…
@@jamesrobinson939 Thanks. It looks to me like a gross undercharging before. When was the last time the price was increased?
Nice interview! Let's get it on!😂
Who knew? Good business practice. Don't treat people like piss in a bucket for starters. Safety first. Surprise surprise. The thing works!
