Located at the top of New Zealand's South Island, Port Nelson is the gateway for a region that produces forestry products, fruit and wine and is a processing base for seafood. The port provides modern infrastructure, teamed with flexible customer-orientated services that include stevedoring and container packing. Our Community: http://www.portnelson.co.nz/about-the-port/our-community/ Port Nelson is at the heart of the Nelson community, both in location and spirit, and is vital to the ongoing economic and social well being of the Nelson region. The Environment: http://www.portnelson.co.nz/about-the-port/the-environment/ Nelson, like many cities, grew up around its port. 160 years later this puts a modern 24-hour port operation alongside industrial and residential neighbours. Port Nelson works hard to reduce the impact of its activities on the local and global environment.
