Berth Depths:

Port Taranaki regularly surveys the berth pockets, swing basin and channel. The below table is updated after every survey (as required). Every two years, Port Taranaki contracts a dredge to return the berth pockets, swing basin and channel back to design, or as close as practically possible.
