NZ port charges come under court scrutiny

摘要

Brought by coastal shipping operator Pacifica against Wellington port company CentrePort, a case in progress in Wellington's High Court is examining whether the port is abusing its monopoly position by charging unreasonable fees for its facilities. The case comes at a time when the NZ government is considering investigating alleged monopoly pricing by NZ's ports. All NZ port eyes are trained on this case since the outcome could set a precedent.
