Why choose T.Log Containers

Proven coastal shipping specialists

One of New Zealand's longest-running coastal container shipping operators, with deep knowledge of every major NZ port.

Frequent sailings, competitive pricing

Regular departures across the coastal network mean you get sharp rates without compromising on transit time.

Export-grade container equipment

Dry, reefer, flat-rack and DG-rated containers maintained to international export standards — your cargo travels protected.

Proactive communication

We keep you informed at every stage of the movement so there are no undue delays — and no surprises.

Sea, road and rail — combined

We know coastal sea freight alone can't always meet the time-sensitive transport needs of every shipment. That's why we layer our core containerised coastal services with the best of New Zealand's road and rail freight networks — giving you a seamless multi-modal solution from origin to destination.

Coastal sea freight

Port-to-port container shipping the length of New Zealand — the backbone of our service.

Road freight

Door-to-port and door-to-door trucking, layered onto sea freight where timing matters.

Rail freight

Long-haul rail to bridge inland origins and destinations efficiently and sustainably.
