Auckland Mayor Phil Goff says Ports of Auckland s half-year financial results are disappointing and the port s leaders have been asked to appear before the council to discuss them. Goff said the company had been asked to appear before the council controlled organisations committee on March 23.
The committee comprises the majority of councillors. Auckland Council is the sole owner of the port, New Zealand s main marine gateway for imports. The port company s leaders are chief executive Tony Gibson and new chairman Bill Osborne, a director since 2017.
