Auckland Ferry Charging Infrastructure

The Low Emission Ferry Landside Infrastructure Programme (the Programme) will deliver charging infrastructure and wharf upgrades to enable new low emission ferries to operate at up to 9 locations on the Auckland ferry network over several stages from 2024 to 2030, in alignment with the staged rollout of new low emission (fully electric and plug-in hybrid) ferries.

Stage 1 of the Programme is required to be completed by quarter three of 2024 to align with the arrival of the first low emission ferries that are currently under construction. Infrastructure is required for three piers at the Downtown Ferry Terminal (DTFT), Half Moon Bay and Hobsonville Point Ferry Terminals.

Following a Market Briefing that was conducted on 1 August 2022, AT received feedback from twenty-eight suppliers. Following the conclusion of an internal review process, AT can confirm that two main contract packages will be released to the market for the delivery of Stage 1 as separate Requests for Proposal (RFP), subject to final approval by the AT Board in late October 2022:

Package 1 - Design and Professional Services
Package 2 - Early Contractor Involvement (leading to the award of Physical Works)
