Listed under UN/LOCODE NZ AKA, Akaroa is a harbour on Banks Peninsula that functions purely as a seasonal cruise anchorage, with vessels tendering passengers ashore rather than berthing. There are no commercial cargo, container or customs operations here; activity runs only through the October-to-April cruise season. For freight purposes its relevance is effectively nil. Cargo bound for the Canterbury region moves instead through the deep-water port of Lyttelton near Christchurch, or through Timaru to the south.
