Potential initiatives
Based on research findings, we have identified several issues and initiatives.

Issues and actions
Possible actions
Encourage dialogue between shipping lines, exporters, port operators and land based freight
providers to better understand the key drivers for the shipping lines’ actions.
Exporters could work together to better understand the mix of cargoes to identify opportunities to
build cargoes across export sectors for specific destinations.
As an owner of rail and roads, Government can support the private sector, the ports and developers
by ensuring complementary landside infrastructure is available.
Government can also provide support through land use planning and regulatory arrangements.
Ensure transport and land use planning recognises and facilitates interconnectivity.
Encourage investment in intermodal terminals and innovative equipment by ensuring roads and rail
lines are operating efficiently.
The provision of efficient freight infrastructure will encourage investment in related assets.
Government should continue to investigate ways in which the private sector can invest directly in
public infrastructure.
Ensure regulatory change is robust and undertaken in a timely manner. Any changes must be
cognisant of the needs of and implications for transport providers and cargo owners.
Undertake a system wide approach to freight infrastructure planning.
Identify and understand existing and potential bottlenecks in the system.
Identify alternatives and develop contingency plans in the case of system outages.
Utilise short term regulatory levers to overcome outages.
Support continued interoperability capability between modes to improve supply chain resilience.
Economies of
scale
Central and local government can facilitate intra-regional and cross industry forums to leverage
collaborative actions. Likewise industry peak bodies could facilitate information sharing.
Ensure anticompetitive regulations do not inadvertently restrict collaboration opportunities for
exporters who are competing on the world market, not within New Zealand.
Identify information and encourage research that may assist industry and government agencies to
develop a better picture of what is happening across industries and regions.
Higher
payloads
Implement recommendations for application process as per September 2011 review of high
productivity motor vehicles (HPMVs).
Address differences in the treatment of HPMV vehicle infringements versus other heavy vehicle
infringements.
Identify ways to incentivise local government to approve HPMV applications.
Ensure regional and local plans have mechanisms to keep up with the changes in the private sector.
Investigate the options for private sector investment in rail rolling stock (particularly wagons),
intermodal terminals and private sidings.
Assess opportunities for alternative contract arrangements to facilitate a lower-risk environment.
Information
Leverage data from electronic of road user charges for road planning.
Support the expansion of the Freight Information Gathering System to include all container ports
and land based container repositioning.
New types of data such as the National Animal Identification Tracing (NAIT) system can be used to
monitor livestock movements and identify potential efficiencies in the use of trans regional
transport operations. As such, NAIT data should be seen as a valuable source of transport
information and be encouraged to make interregional ‘flow’ statistics publically available.
