Airports & seaports

Port infrastructure has a pivotal role in New Zealand’s economic performance. Our major seaports handle by far the majority of international inbound and outbound cargo – estimated at 99% by weight and 80% by value. Our international airports handle almost all foreign visitation – and growth in international passenger numbers is forecast to be roughly twice the rate of GDP growth in the long run. Ports are complex operations comprising highly specialised assets and are under continual re-development and expansion to cater for increased international demand for our commodity and other value-added exports together with growing international and domestic travel.

Crighton Anderson has substantial experience in the valuation of airport and seaport assets and related infrastructure for insurance and financial reporting purposes and in developing port asset valuation methodologies, handbooks and models for pricing and other purposes.
