The Ministry of Transport is chairing a working group to develop options for a shipping service that meets the long-term needs of the Chatham Islands community.
The group is made up of members from the Ministry of Transport, Department of Internal Affairs, Ministry for Primary Industries, Chatham Islands Council, Chatham Islands Enterprise Trust, and Chatham Islands Shipping.
The group is currently developing terms of reference and a set of principles for developing and assessing long-term shipping options with the goal of delivering a long-term shipping solution to the timeframes outlined in the Chatham Islands Strategy 2024 (PDF file 1.3MB)(external link).
