Transport
Wellington Harbour is a significant port serving the lower North Island, with the Greater Wellington Regional Council-owned company Centreport recording around 14,000 commercial shipping movements each year. The region's largest container port is in Wellington city and a tanker terminal is located at Seaview, in Lower Hutt. Wellington harbour ferries began operating at the end of the 19th century and regular crossings between central Wellington and Days Bay continue today. The harbour is also used by inter-island ferries, linking Wellington to Picton.
A project to develop a walking and cycling route around the harbour, the Great Harbour Way, has broad support from community groups and local authorities.

Famous quotes containing the word transport:
“One may disavow and disclaim vices that surprise us, and whereto our passions transport us; but those which by long habits are rooted in a strong and ... powerful will are not subject to contradiction. Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
