Beginner's guide to North South Express

Clifford Bay showing time savings of 2.5 hours on Better, Faster, Safer route.

Clifford Bay offers a faster, safer, and more reliable Cook Strait ferry connection. It avoids the narrow and complex harbour approaches to Picton and provides a shorter, more direct crossing better suited to modern ferries. It reduces overall North–South travel time by at least 2.5 hours, delivering a significant efficiency gain for both passengers and freight. Its location outside a town centre reduces heavy vehicle traffic, congestion, and disruption to local communities, while providing the space needed for safer operations, improved weather resilience, and future expansion—supporting a ferry system that is better, faster, and safer.
