Yachts that have just crossed the Pacific tie up at Opua's breakwater quarantine berths to clear Customs and biosecurity — this is New Zealand's northernmost Place of First Arrival, administered by Far North Holdings. The 420-berth Bay of Islands Marina anchors the site, with a diesel dock, haul-out travel-lift, boatbuilders and chandleries close at hand. Opua handles no scheduled container, bulk or general cargo, so its role for commercial forwarders is marginal. For containerised and bulk freight in Northland, Northport at Marsden Point and the Ports of Auckland are the relevant gateways.
