North Tugz LTD.
Provider of pilotage and tug services to Northport and the oil industry

In 1999 Ports of Auckland won the contract to provide pilotage and tug services for the oil industry at Marsden Point at the New Zealand Refining Co.'s Jetties. Ports of Auckland provided the marine services in Auckland and its marine division was extended to provide the same service at Marsden Point. It was called North Tugz. The new service commenced on 1st October 1999. A new tug, Takahiwai (50t bollard pull) was built in Whangarei and together with the Hauraki, an existing Auckland tug, they formed the basis of the new service. The other craft used to make up the fleet were Manukau, Busby and Marsden. The Manukau and Busby were later sold.
With the formation of Northport as a joint venture between Northland Port Corporation and Port of Tauranga and the development of the new port at Marsden Point, Northport and Ports of Auckland decided to form a joint venture company to provide the pilotage and tug services to both the oil industry and the general cargo berths at Whangarei and Marsden Point. The new company was named North Tugz Ltd.. Northport brought into the company its tugs Waitangi (later sold), Kemp, pilot boat Jack Guy and workboat Hobson. The new company commenced operations on 1st April 2003.
